Here's some pics of the inner mess, and what really happened.

Pics of the hole in the block that you saw yesterday, along with a crack that goes all the way across it.

Here's pictures of the cylinder wall. What happened is it collapsed around the piston, causing the whole mess. You can see a rust spot in there thats more than just a few hours old, it must have been there for quite a while, but when the engine would warm up, any water in there would turn to steam and we wouldnt see it.

And here's the carnage that resulted....

And we're back to stage 1..
