Inverted Plug Valve

So i was driving home the other day - when the maz had a bit of a hiccup. Things quickly went from bad to worse. After pulling out the spark plugs the next day, part of the problem is obvious. What i don't know, is A) What caused the problem and B) How stupidly expensive is it going to be to repair all the damage. I'm thinking its either taken on a lungful of water, and the spark plug was the weak link out, or the timing chain has some how rattled apart, and the resulting debris have coozed the plugs. Bent valves, bend rods, gouged bores, ruined pistons... who knows... *sigh*

To keep it all concentric, I turned these in one chucking. First the ball end and pressing, then working back to the chuck one step at a time with a square nose tool.
