Thumbs down 748 engine went bang...

I attempted to do a track day at snett yesterday but only managed 2 1/2 sighting laps , as i was 3/4 down the revetts straight not even pushing it it the engine lost power as if only running on one cylinder then started knocking very loudly i pulled of and returned her to the pits , she will fire and idle ok but as soon as you slowly increase revs she randomly knocks so this morning i draineed the engine oil and its full of little fragmentds of metal and copper coloured metal which i can only assume are the shells.

engine has done 27k miles

Now if it is just the shells cant see it being to big off a job but more worring what the cause would be any ideas ?????

dont want to fix problem with out identifying the cause etc if you see what i mean !!

I can take a pic of drain bung and gauze filter if would help???

cheers Simon
