The valve head broke off and pounded the combustion chamber from the piston slamming into it. If it is an iron head and it is not cracked, can be ground and polished, a new seat installed along with a guide and valve job done. If it is an aluminum head, can be welded up and completely repaired in addition to the seat and guide business. The iron head will gain some chamber volume depending on how much material needs to be removed.
