I'm very curious. It's amazing the chain didn't bind/break. That's pretty lucky.

Check your tensioner vs OEM style when you do you recovery. Also other things like if like M62 there is that oil check valve or anything that could have blocked proper oil flow. The chain tensioner applies a shit ton of force compared to the little spring that just holds it until oil pressure builds.
Bank 2 and the intake side on the solenoid was chewed up. Its the lower solenoid that has been damaged.
