Default Out of 15 LSX cars I think a motor is gone. Video inside

Well, I don't know what to say.I have had 15(Including my current 2) ranging from 21 miles to 233,000 miles. This motor is a LS6 out of a 03 Z06 with only 55k on it All I was doing was swapping intakes. Once I get everything buttoned up and start the car I hear this sound which starts like metal in a tin can coming from the motor. I take everything back apart pull the valve covers and changed the oil. Oil looked fine. It did start to rain a little but i had everything covered up. Only thing I can think of is maybe a bolt or something fell into my motor when I had the Intake off. For those with a good eye you will notice the first injector on the drive side dumping fuel. Out of Anger I threw it out the ground so a new fuel rail is on the list of parts. IDK what to do I have found a 6.0L but don't really have alot of cash to use at the moment.

WOW! What did you do? Did you get a rebuild or get a new motor?
