Strange valve timing gear configuration. Usually cam and crank turn in same direction. Maybe a model artifact but definitely not representative of modern engines.

The part, the connecting rod, connecting the piston to the crankshaft breaks. Usually due to some catastrophic problem like overheating or oil starvation. Something has prevented normal piston travel.
