I do not think there is any easy way to see a catastrophic failure of an engine in datalogs alone. When tearing down the engine you can review the engine internals and see where the engine failed. Such failure can be at bearings, rods, pistons, etc... But each tells a story of how it broke or failed and that will lead to what caused the engine failure.

Now you could see some interesting data in your logs that might show where things started to go wrong, but this could have been after the the engine failed. Such things as check engine lights, car running leaner, knock correction, etc... can all happen after the fact.

With EcuTeK Dongle, Cable and Software you can log the vehicle yourself. You get the basic logging parameters on a stock vehicle but if your vehicle has been tuned you can grab even more variables to log.

Hope that helps,
