Motor brakdown

*Breakdown*

about a month ago my motor crapped out so I swapped it found a 06 Murano motor for 400.. I had the old motor sitting around so I decided to open it up to find out what was wrong and this is what I found.
Pulled the oil pan off and this is what I found inside

Man! How the hell did your pistons end up with so much **** on it? You think some seafoam every once ina while could have helped get some of that junk out? You must have felt some power loss because of reduced compression with all that junk up in there... Were all the pistons in the same condition?
