Oh *****, that sucks. Here's a bump to keep this on the top of the page. I'm curious what could have done it.
Could fuel have leaked into a cylinder and then caused a massive backfire that broke something.

The backfire was so violent it shook the whole car. I have never heard of a motor seizing during a cold-start. Please let me know if this has happened to someone else or what you think it could be. THE CAR NEVER STARTED, IT BACKFIRED WHEN IT WAS TURNING OVER. It had oil, oil-pressure, and gas.
Please help!
Thank you
