So, basically from a previous repair they used the wrong bolts. Didn't get a picture of those, forgot. But in return it couldn't be torqued correctly or fit the how's correctly. That caused evening to wiggle around and cause parts to wear and fatigue. At that point the flywheel broke. On the shaft of the torque converter you can see our was worn down. The crank seal is worn and blown basically. You can see metal filings around where the bolt hole is where it mounts to the engine. I took one of the bolts and tested it on a couple holes and they were very loose.
