I forgot to post an update.
Motor was torn down. We found that the upper timing chain started breaking apart. Fragments of the upper chain was found in the sump. The debris got everywhere! Cylinder 3 spun a bearing and this crank got rekted.
Jim Heald torn apart the motor and started cleaning all the parts. Checked the head and block, sent everything in to get tanked.
We have a spare eagle rod, replacing the crank, oil pump/front cover, new Tomei head gasket, and I bought a new OEM Nissan timing chain kit.
That evergreen timing chain kit was most likely the culprit for this motors failure.
