No nitrous. Never will, don't believe in it. Bottle empty=no more power. 1 burp=blown motor. Not a combination I like.

No visible damage, I would button it up and drive it for a few days before disassembly to see if the rings will move themselves. I repaired that other one while it was under warranty. I've seen one other one do a single cylinder, but three on one car was beating some serious odds.
I hope that it what it is. but I would temper myself until I know EXACTLY what is wrong. I wouldn't call it a "BLOWN" engine yet.
If the rings turn out to be damaged, you still will have to find the real problem as they would be a victim of, not the problem. I call it an autopsy.
