crank position sensor broke off The car wouldn't start and was throwing this code. Removed the starter to get to it and the sensor just pulled right off along with the mounting bolt and some of the block. Now there's a hole in the block and a small stress crack in one place. Am I looking at a new block or can this be welded?

Ok here's something else that happened in the last couple weeks. First I had the number 8 fuel injector stuck wide open. Dumping all the fuel into the cylinder. This happened after I took the injectors off and home cleaned them using a 9 volt battery to turn them on then flushing fuel cleaner thru them. I did this before with no problem. I must have burned the coils causing it to stick wide open. I never drove the car after this happened just started it twice and turned it off. Then ordered new injectors which took a week to get. I then pulled the fuel rail to see the manifold all full of fuel on the number 8. Then I pulled the spark plug and let the gas drain. Then a few days later when i got the injectors and installed them it wouldn't crank. I then turned the crank pulley by hand and moved it a bit then it cranked but no start. Then thru the crank position code. I add oil to the cylinder before trying to crank it too to let it soak the rings since gas flushed them. Still I don't see how this has anything with the crank breaking off. I will try and post a pic. It look like it's been cranked though for a while looking at the oil around this area. It's not fresh looking more black.
