Just to follow up on this issue, I took my radiator to a shop to get boiled out. The veteran guy there immediately said oil in the cooling system will do that to the hoses. Not sure how it might have happened, but I know it won't in the future.

I had the heads checked and the side that blew ended up needing to be machined. I flushed the block, replaced the gaskets and buttoned it back up. Drove it today to let it heat cycle and re-torqued the heads. Seems to be cooling ok and runs nice, so it looks like I didn't hurt the block. Whew!
