You won't know until you get the pistons out and see how bad the bores are and whether you have crank damage.

Certainly doesn't look good! TB failure?

It may have jumped 1 tooth or dropped a valve in #1. I still don't know. I couldn't get it around to #1 TDC to drop the pin and plate in but it looked to be darn close to in time(close only counts in horse-shoes).
