Damn, looks like maybe a follower may have got stuck, caused the valve to drop and it tore up the piston. How is the head, any of the valves gone or stuck? There have been a couple members here over the last 6 or 7 months that have had a valve drop because of locked up followers and did pretty close to their piston as yours is now.
