That's quite a large piece missing. I agree that she used 87 octane, but the valve piece could have easily gone through the turbo vanes without any damage. Those vanes move at exhaust flow speed, so now there is a piece of valve in the CAT :)

Cleaning will be a chore! Number the board 1-5 in the center of each valve group, just in case it gets turned around by someone. The head looks pretty good and flat. New stem seals should be used.

Just before you put the head on, add a little motor oil to the rings for an aid to restart.

You are doing good. The $600 850 never responded to my email, I assume someone else is now driving it.
