I would put that block on display.. If your gonna blow a motor and put your self through the hell of pulling it, fixing it.. THATS THE WAY TO DO IT!

Good luck on the 3rd one!

My guess would also be that the timing chain broke and piled up between the sprocket and the block. The old Harley Davidson Sportsters were infamous for blowing out the rear corners of the engine block when the rear chain would snap and lock up the sprocket.

You say that the front main cap split in half.If you look at the mating surface of the cap,is there any fretting,if there is it was detonation that cracked the cap.It just did not blow when you were spraying,but it probably broke the cap.
