[QUOTE]Maybe the stuck open injector hydraulic locked the one cylinder...then on start up, boom...little chunks of cylinder wall and piston swimming in the foam bath that used to be the oil in the pan?
I really don't know. #4 was the open injector, #6 is the one coolant is flowing into.
But because of the open injector on # 4, fuel pressure had to be low, causing a possible lean condition for other cylinders. ( a possibility )

Re: Guess the carnage! (scorp508)
My wife thinks there could be multiple problems going on here (I usually listen to her (she is making me say this) ) She votes a bad block and bad fuel injector.
I reserve an answer because I need more information. OUCH!! OK. (don't ask) If your block was bad I Think you would have had some kind of symptoms and the same goes for a gasket. I think there is a problem with to much fuel in a chamber, maybe you have (or had) a leaking injector on # 6 humm SCORP! were running "special" FUEL??? You have been known to exceed the speed limit a time or two... Could the problem be fuel either locking up a piston while the engine was down or extreme detonating? Anyway, Good luck!

Re: Guess the carnage! (ddsovy)
I am inclined to think that there is also a problem with the intake gasket. And possibly was the source of the water which may not be related to much of the damage. In fact, I am inclined to beleive that the foriegn matter originated from the manifold somewhere. Perhaps an incorrect bolt.
I just hope that you get it fixed. Finding that source of the problem is going to save you lots of sleep. Otherwise, I would use a crack detector and check the block and the head . I would not want to chance doing another tear down.
Good luck anyways!
