Think @jesse888 has hit the nail on the head. Ultimately there's been detonation in all cylinders. Head gasket symptoms where the wall of cylinder one starting to break down and then it's just let go completely.
The new block should be here this weekend. Hopefully crank is ok as it was in good shape. Will need a bare head as head internals are good but I'll probably go for new valves anyway.
Selling my house this week so limited in what I can do till that's sorted but thinking about getting an 18c4 complete engine to get it up and running short term and building a monster over the winter.
That's not detonation, that's damage from debris that made it's way from cylinder 1 into the other cylinders, it's very common when something like this happens for debris to get fired back up the intake manifold from one cylinder and then be ingested into the other cylinders!
