Project Evo IX - Engine Failure

Project Evo IX has been towed back and put into the garage, waiting for the diagnosis about its engine failure. We just got the engine bay partially torn apart and the head pulled from the 4G63. This is what we found. Three cylinders that look perfect and one that saw some serious hot spots. With zero compression in this cylinder, it's simple to see that the piston has been melted and eaten away. The cylinder is scored in that area as well. The head looks perfect and untouched though.

Our next plan of action is to rebuild the engine and get the injectors sent out for cleaning and reading. What killed our engine?
