The piston is ok. The rod is ok. There is a very tiny mark on the piston where it hit the valves, but there are no cracks or anything like that. The valves were barely bent too, you couldn't tell by looking at them until I filled the combustion chamber with WD40 (spark plugs still in, head upside down on the workbench) and it ran past the valves. I got lucky.
