Timing belt snapped (actually the crank part teeths gone on the belt).
The rocker pipe was bent up pretty bad.
The holder casting (near the head bolt), was broken (5 of them). But all the rocker arms were fine, no broken rockers.

Do you think the lower end is still ok ?
Im still taking them apart.
How to tell if the lower end is fine ? What do i need to check without disassembling everything ?

Ive read that if the piston tops are not too banged up, it wont be a problem. The head and valves are alot more prone to taking the beating when these go.
