Photos of Blown 5VZ-FE Engine

Bought a 4Runner a few months ago for parts. Working on stripping down the engine to see if the heads were any good for me to use and this is what I found:

Cracked #4 piston:

Damage to cylinder head:

Also had a burnt valve on #2 as well as a blown head gasket:

This was an engine with 308K miles and it had absolutely nothing left to give! Was able to limp it to my house but that's it.
