that's a pretty rabbit! foxracer has been helping get the race truck back on the road.. pulled the head because the head gasket was leaking.. head needed surfaced and the precups were all cracked.. got a exhaust temp. gauge in it now finally and a pump that shouldnt leak any fuel.. race only!!

I'm so so so sorry
Did you look at the followers to see how it let go of the valve?

how much of the stem is still attached to the valve?
my guess is that whatever came in your intake got caught in the valve, hanging it open.
then when the piston came up, it smashed it breaking the stem and dropping the head of the valve into the cylinder.
would be interesting to know ow far up the stem it broke though.
sorry to hear about this, it always seems to happen just after they get back on the road too...

I have never seen this in person, good info. I will be curious to know exactly what happened, there are always theories, but there has got to be a true cause. I hate to make you feel like a guinea pig, but I would love to learn something here if there is, in fact, something to be learned. Sorry for your loss.

The crack in the piston on the 3rd pic looks bad. The rest should buff out and you should be on the road shortly.
Not really and that sucks. I am scared as can be that something like this is going to happen to my jetta when it is finally done. I am taking my time and using all good stuff, but just like you have proven sometimes it isn't enough. Let me know what your plans are to fix. I have my 1.6 n/a engine in the jetta now that has a brand new hydro head on it and bottom end needs attention. I am just going to pull it and sell it for the turbo to have a home. I am in ohio too.
Whatever you do good luck.
Edit: see it says you are going TDI now...I wish you even more luck.
