    Background of what happened: I was on the highway when cylinder 6 started misfiring. I must have been in boost at the time because the next thing that happened was a loud boom, smoke, the engine stalled. It started up again with lots of white smoke coming out the tail pipe and metal clunking noises; at that point I knew I wasn't going anywhere.

    Here are some pictures I took tonight, as you can tell the push-rod is bent and the valve spring is broken.

    What am I looking at here? What can I expect as I take the head off? This is the first time I'll be attempting to fix something like this so any and all advice is appreciated. Also, when I drained the oil, coolant came out first then oil mixed with coolant. Almost filled up my 15 quart oil pan......................
