Anybody done this before???

So im coming off the highway yesterday, and all of a sudden my oil light blinks on. Well, that sucks. Especially when it starts knocking like a BITCH.
Pulled over immediately, check oil (doh!) its full b/c i just had an oil change 1,000 miles ago... so im like.. why did it lose oil pressure?
They take out my engine today, and when they do the end of my crank shaft falls off. Great. A 2 peice crank shaft!! wtf? Good(ish?) news the rest of the engine is in great shape. Just need a new shaft =) Check it out......

Also i was wondering if there were higher quality aftermarket crankshafts available for the 2.4L? B/c obviously the stock one isnt that great.

Here is some pics... ignore the last one. Was just goofing off with my exhaust manifold ("Its so small!!!!"). I'm used to seeing classic muscle car engine parts so my little engine cracks me up =)
