I had an 88 Jetta that threw a rod. Here are some of the pictures:
Front of motor
Back of motor. Can't really tell, but there is a hole about the size of a grapefruit blown out behind that cover. You can see how much it is dented though. It used to be flat.
Oil filter was in front of the hole. It actually pierced the can in two places.
Had to pull the oilpan before the yard would take it. This is what I found:
Destroyed the oil pump as well and left about a hand full of small pieces. The bottom of the piston was completely destroyed and all I could find was peanut sized pieces of the wristpin. I found the rod cap the day it blew on the ground along with a bunch of other small pieces of block.
Last picture before we left for the junkyard:
And the best part. $112.50 check.
Oh, and a video of it being crushed:
