Teardown pics are here! Diagnosis is a bent connecting rod.

The crud in the cylinders is from when I removed the direct injectors and what had collected on top fell down in there. I originally thought it had spun a bearing, but luckily that did not happen, or the rod breaking and windowing the block! The bearings look pretty good, actually, considering the abuse I put them through!
