If the ring is broken, would it damage anything else and what on earth would cause that?

if the ring breaks, you can get minor to severe scraping on the block, but I'm sure you already knew that. Bore it out according to how much damage there was, and get new everything, including bigger pistons.

A dry sleeve is pressed into the block, a wet sleeve is loose in the block, sealed by o-rings. If you get cylinder damage, all you do is replace the sleeve. A ring can break from excessive heat, piston damage, water intrusion into the cyl, or a combination of fuel, ignition, timing.

Powerstrokes are dry sleeved arnt they? all semis are wet sleeve(and cat knows just how bad thiers are so they offer a cylinder kit that comes compleate with rod, and piston already in the sleeve, all youve gotta do it pull the head and pan, unbolt the rod cap....pull the liner and drop the new on in place....)
