One head is mashed, as is the piston where the valve dropped, but the bore is mostly ok. There's one tiny ding in it but the piston moves past it smoothly so its recoverable. All it needs is another head and the one piston. It won't ever be perfect, but I'll just put it in something disposable for a laugh

A new starter and an oil change and that would be good for another 100k 😁

Wow. Properly Fubar'd
![]() I'm sure you could fix it though MJ! Interesting how it seems to be the middle inlet valve that's bent in each case. I suppose the interference is greater/closer for that valve?

Jeez, that should have come with an X certificate and a warning not to scroll down if you’re of a nervous disposition! What a mess!
