The car looks to have been garaged for most of its life and was in good shape. The second owner bought it a year and a half ago, they didn't treat it as good as the first. Not much sludge but they ran it into a ditch and totalled it after ripping the suspension off.
From the codes, it looks like it was having vanos issues (probably solenoids) so they took the valve cover off (no idea why), then pinched the gasket, ran it out of oil then spun the rod. Not too much sludge but the internals looks burnt, hard to say though.
