The same engine will be going back in the car, I mean the exact same specs in every way. In the short time I ran it I can say it was the best engine I've ever had or built. Really is a kick in the sack that this happened.
It was for sure the screw. We see this type of thing happen a lot when something gets into one cylinder. It will get kicked around and then goes out of the cylinder it's in and sucked into another to do more damage. Seems odd but it's very common, lose a valve or anything else and it's going to end up in more than on cylinder before it's over.
Posting it sucks. I thought about just keeping it quiet and fixing the car. As usual though being open and honest about stuff is how I work. If this saves ONE other guy from the same fate it was worth making the post for the haters to enjoy.
