Wow, this is exactly what happened to me. Ok different engines, but looks like my problem.

I wish it was something trivial like that... but I'm not that lucky, did all the tests ofc and everything was ok. Besides the car worked well for like 2 years, it's not a new build or something, so something happened.
I also don't like the 50/50 solutions like re torquing the heads. Also once disassembled, from my experience, you need to resurface the heads and the block and I want to have a look at the pistons just to be safe. I will rebuild everything just for piece of mind (forged internals, arp studs, upgraded springs etc.).
I don't like it since is quite expensive (I need to ship the car abroad and the labour costs are double from what I've seen in USA) but I plan to keep the car at least another 3 years and in the long run probably it's cheaper.
At this point I hope the heads/short are reusable and not dameged beyond repair bc finding a replacement could be a pta, but I think I'm ok since the car was still running and there was no sign of contamination of oil or coolant.
