Any signs of head gasket leakage? like more coolant in the reservoir after it has cooled off than before you started? or was there residual pressure in the coolant system when you pulled the cap or hoses taking it apart? could have pushed out the coolant in the heads leading to air pockets hots spots and some boom action, if you had no residual pressure in the coolant then it had to be something else.

Edit: since the cylinders that are blown on opposite corners it doesn't sound like a fuel starve issue, And I'm sure they heard a noise "ping ping ping ping puhhhhhh"
