A few bent vlaves, possibly guide damage and probably follower damage. Frank can take care of your head.

Head needs to be redone. Complete TB replacement. Could possibly be damage to rods, but remote chance.

Figure up to $2500 to fix.

Good guess. I found a replacement engine for 2000 cdn $$, but these cars are more plentiful up here. Expensive mistake. And I did the engine and tranny swap myself.

If you are mechanically inclined, can follow instructions, and have the TB tools...you can do this yourself quite easily. Yank the head and send it to user Franko6 (profile link in my sig) and he will send it back to you in a care package with the rest of the parts you need for reassembly.

Frank's prices may have changed but the head work and parts should run you $1400 or less. Bent rods are unlikely, but measure piston projection to be sure.
