That much heat is usually caused by overly lean, caused by too much air or not enough fuel, or a combination of the two.

I already bought 6 new injectors, so covered not enough fuel. Making sure the intake seals should cover too much air. Think that should keep the new motor from suffering the same fate, any thoughts?

Perhaps you could look at the exhaust valve seats and see if there is evidence of excessive heat. Or if there are other signs of excessive heat on the head, piston, or any area around cyl. #2. The piston should show signs.
My thought is that your engine went because of a mechanical issue versus a fuel/Air issue.
It is possible that a single cyl. went lean and burned up but it should have showed signs of that before imploding. You should have felt the cyl. dropping out or something.
