It was late lastnight . Realy didn't have the light , but with the little bit of light I did have that's what I think. I will post more when I get home from work today.
Injector might of stuck open and filled the cylinder full of fuel. When cranked, the fuel couldn't compress and put a rod through the side of block. I have seen it happen a time or two between #5 and #7.
