Looks like I forgot about this case.
Here he shows that a piston has broken up and the rod out of place. In his next video he shows the big end of the rod broken off in pieces, but its crank journal looks clean!
Looks to me like a rod bolt worked loose (or less likely, broke).
In his last update about the car (that I could find) 6 months ago, he talks only about getting a replacement engine. So we're not likely to find a certain cause for the failure.

And as Spammy mentioned, no8 has some bore scoring.

Added to undetermined/uncertain list.
