I think we call these things learning experiences. First you did something stupid, now your paying for it. Bet you will not do that again.
Second you get to learn how to do an engine swap. Thats always a good learning experience.

Pistons should not move freely.

I see it now. I didn't look too into the picture, so it just appeared that you turned the crank. Sorry to see that. Is there a hole in the block too?

I blew my HG the same way (water in the intake), but I got lucky that's all that happened.

I just have to find one.
