Re: Is this motor a goner?
I'd use a soft dead blow hammer on the top of the valve of you have it, definantly use a block of wood with a steel hammer, try and get the valve to move free. There is a good posibility the piston may have struck the valve and ether bent or broke it. This is when a goos micro camara can tell a lot going in thru the soark plug hole.
I'd alsoull the lifter inspection cover, pull the pushrood and see if its bent, see if the lifter is frose up on the lifter bore or if it moves, if it is you need to try and remove it, once out see if it and the bore are galled up, try and clean them up.
