Don't have to worry about it anymore. Hasn't been off jack stands yet from doing injectors and it decided to shit a rod out of the side of the motor. Problem solved for now.

Not sure yet. The 3k I just spent on injectors would have helped on a build. Can't see much yet due to the 10' diameter oil/antifreeze combo. Looks like the block is busted behind the oil filter housing.

Scenario
Still setting on jack stands from injector swap. Had been idleing for about 20 min or so. Thing is running smooth as silk, quiet as can be. Rev it to about 2,000 rpm, let off, goes to idle, bump the throttle and all Hell breaks lose, kill it within a second of the noise, get out and oil/antifreeze everywhere. Pretty crazy that this is the death of this engine.

It may have broke the crank, the block is broke out under the oil filter. The very last upper oil pan bolt OS exposed and the crack goes above the main bolt the goes on the side.
