. Ever found out what happened to the original engine?

I asked a few people in the industry and they said it was a rare occurrence, but they had seen whole valves drop into combustion area on this engine.

The valve lock dip may have failed when it [b]opened and remained there then the cylinder head crushed it.[/b Further attempts to restart the engine caused more damage. A timing jump may be in play.

you were partially correct. The engine had sticky valves. It almost happened again on a different vehicle , but this time we caught it early .

Used a non invasive method (valve cleaner) to fix the problem.

This is typical case of a back fire. This went straight back to the engine hence the occurrence of this. I once dealt with this. Exhaust becomes red as hell fire grin after 6secs of starting the vehicle. This might be an exception but it's a back fire. Pele sir wink
Back to sender......went straight and caused a ripple in the heart of the engine
