He must have blown a head gasket BAD, or worse. I'm not sure how'd you get coolant in the intake, but coolant in the oil is definitely blown head gasket territory. I'd beat his ***, lol.

He could have cracked the block allowing a coolant passage to be congruent with an oil gallery thus coolant in the oil.

It probably hydrolocked the motor

I was thinking about that, but crack the block??!? That takes some serious abuse. Thats a big crack to get 6 liters through. Ouch. New block time.

Good idea, and it will be a good excuse to go bigger. Have him paythe worth of a stock long block and you add some in to get a bigger motor.

Liquid doesn't like to compress very well like air which could/would lead to bent/broken rods and/or cracks/holes in blocks, a small crack is all it takes to make the liquid (coolant) pour out into the oil pan.

I think he lied to you....From my own experiance no one ask to borrow a sports car just to go to wendys....they ask so they can beat the crap out of it.
