Pull spark plugs: see if it will turn over. Report whether or not COOLANT issues from open spark plug holes..... Or FUEL....

If you are lucky it is a stuck open injector that let fuel lock up a cylinder, and the starter did not have enough power to damage any hard parts. Otherwise???

this is the plan, there's no damage to the sleeve, head needs repaired also. Valve doesn't seal

This truck has gotten the best of me
so engine didt turn at all and no fluid in there?

the piston cant have desintegrated after you shut off the engine, right?
