So my car was being tuned and the wastegate line blew off. While it was idling on the dyno, it randomly shut off. The shop went over spark, fuel, compression on 1/2, and could not find out the issue. They then pulled the valve cover and saw the exhaust cam was not rotating. However, I was told...
"We can't visually see the crack because the cam has not been removed and it is up front. The cam sprocket is still in place and turning because the timing system is still working, and the cam angle sensor bolts into the exhaust cam and the ecu shows accurate rpm and fires spark correctly. That said, the cam lobes do not turn while cranking."
He also provided a small clip,

He said he didn't believe anything internal was hurt, but was concerned the cam journals may be worn from whatever stress caused the cam to break. In the video, it dosen't sound bad either...given its a really small sample. Is there any possible way the valves are not bent, pistons not hurt, etx? I'm trying to prepare myself for any possible outcome while I await them to look into it further.
On a more positive note, it made 421 on 93 octane and only 17lbs. Not bad considering it was going to see E85 and more boost. He was assuming it would have seen ~480 on 93, broken the 5xx mark on E85 and more boost.
