ive done a couple of those myself your head gasket could have failled and hydrauliced that cylinder, as mentioned before high egt, detonation, a bit of oil in the cylinder from rings or worn guides, ic pump intrermitantly working and on and on but from the pic it looks like it detonated its self apart
but on a lighter note the block is still good for dartons

John has a good understanding of this topic tho, heed his input on what to do next. He has a darn good grasp on the mechanics of the motor.
Pretty sure being a tool (read: personality of a douche to anyone NOT running your tune or disagrees with you) has nothing to do with fixing a car. Oh, and after $3k in chasing major electrical components, it was financially smart to dump it. I'd come to Indy, had I not taken a new job title and will be working. So sorry.
Btw, Tyler is underage. He's not my type.

Oh really I can still use the block? Well that's good I guess.

You seem to miss Tstone quite a bit.... talk about him quite frequently.

Op is gonna agree with whatever his tuner tells him. James could say it was because it wasn't the right time of day or a potato fell into the engine & that's what op would agree with..

Just because it doesn't pop the first time you get on it, doesn't mean the tune is perfect. Oh you little boys have so much to learn.
My input to help op: get a new short block with whatever parts you want.. Go back to James...
Oh, & be ready to repeat

What else is there to see? He blew a sleeve. Because detonation. Reason for detonation is unknown, but 95% chance it's the tune.
100k& meth? No.
Bad tune & 100k & meth
On a good tune, he would have lasted longer.
