Exclamation Worst 2jz problem discovered!!!

Just recently my 92 sc300 wouldnt start.
Ok, lets check the voltage on the igniter and igniter coil to the distributor, replace the spark plugs, clean the corrosion off the contacts and rotor of the distributor. Fuel pump ok, ecu ok etc etc.
Nothing.
Turned the car after all of that, started, idled at a very low rpm...bogged, shook violently (engine and chasey) blew a cloud of blue smoke out the exhaust and died.
Uh oh.
Sounds like its cammed pretty bad and oil in the combustion chamber seems likely.
Opened up the cam houseing and from there my car went to hell:
Ill let the great brains of the Lexus forum figure out what happened here.

Looks like I need to overhaul the engine lol
This engine has over 270k miles so its about time I just part it out and let it go
But no need to worry, a nice gte build will be at hand.
