NOT GOOD!!! I WOULD START WITH  COMPRESSION AND LEAK DOWN TESTS. DETERMINE WHERE THE PRESSURE IS GETTING INTO THE CRANKCASE.

WOW....sounds fatal!  Bet there is water in the oil and oil in the water.  It might be as simple as a blown head gasket but I am thinking it is much worse.  Pull the plugs and see if it pumps water out of the plug holes. If it does, then it is likely the head gasket is blown and maybe a cracked head.  Whether this is the problem or not.....your 194 is pretty much "a fish out of water".....my twocents.gif

I would be leary of doing the top end only. That hot can crack a block. Also, chances are your rings have lost their tension too. You are likely best off to find someone pulling a 6 to do a V8 conversion and buy a known good running engine.

Sad reality but likely throwing money at your engine is a waste by the sound of how hot it got.
