Loud pop, then lawnmower-ish sound?

Just dont do what I did when I did my #3...I lifted the rail to get clearance for the tap, but I got paranoid that maybe the piston was TDC so I put a dowel in and something was pretty close so I got in the car and bumped the engine over, all I heard was a woosh...and my engine was on fire.

I killed the ign and grabbed a fire extenguisher which I ALWAYS keep handy,,,absolutely, somehow, no damage to anything...not even a singed wiring cover...dont know how.

Obviously, when I lifted the rail up, the orings came loose, and when I hit the key the rail pressurized and blew some injectors off...and when I cranked the engine..something sparked.

Im a stickler for safety....I always take precautions, but I brain farted on this one.
