Sorry about the challenge. I read it the other day on WOG.
Just curious about a few things. Will a Powerstroke from a F150 transplant?
Such a unique vehicle. I am assuming it is LONG term and worth the rehab.
As another wrench suggested on WOG. I would fab some sort of valve depressor, and carefully check each valve to make sure they did not get bent during the mayhem.
I had something similar happen on a BMW 740. Definitely had a valve kiss a piston. I got it timed correctly, put new timing belt and chains on it. It was still running 10 years later when I sold it.
