Is it that you have all the concrete blocks in that wall behind the photo, and in actual life you have hacked them all away?

From what I know of meltdowns, I'd go for catastrophically lean in the detonated piston. Blocked injector?

Leaner means cooler in a diesel doesn't it? But I hear where your headed, bad spray pattern was another of my thoughts....?

Something pretty gross happened to no 3, injector must have been squirting a solid jet of fuel.

The exhaust manifold was far from flat and blowing all over the place on Jake's, both at the head and the turbo, so losing a lot of boost according to him.

I machined it flat again.
