Hopefully it is nothing but good from here on out.

I agree, it's worth a look see.is it worth tearing it down and seein what it looks like?....the hole can be welded up if the insides arent toast
I would agree a postmortem is in order. Would be interesting to know what caused the failure. Rod, rod bolt, piston or did the end of the injector fail. Inquiring minds want to know. Also was that the original manufacture date or a rebuilt tag ?I agree, it's worth a look see.
Am I the only one that wonders what got the temp up to 220°?
I don't think I've seen any of mine go past 165°, even on a couple hour run in the middle of August.
My geuss would be a blown head gasket .Am I the only one that wonders what got the temp up to 220°?

No, the thought crossed my mind also. I just figured it was the least of his problems, now.Am I the only one that wonders what got the temp up to 220°?

Why trash the remaining parts that are salvageable , just because there is a hole in the block dosen't mean there isn't a ton of parts. Running it till it dies would turn a $1000 worth of spare parts into scap because lack of oil .Hope my luck is better when I get one. Just for grins and everyone else's satisfaction, fire it up and see how long it will run or drive way. might be a fun messy experiment.
