needs a head and at least 1 piston seems,dealer says it pulled something into the engine,i call shenanigans!how does some thimg get sucked into an engine that has positive pressure on it,hell the turbo compressor wheel looks new,had a broken glow plug and #2 cyl droped a valve

Strange hey, wonder how they came up with that. So who's paying the bill?so far its not coverd and i think theyll get rid of it rather than pay the for the repair,seems like the engine mayhave been oversped,they tow a camper and they do alot of traveling in mountains i kinda think the oversped the engine and it floated a valve,it might have kissed the piston enough to piss it off and have the valvehead free it self from the rest of the valve train.seems that the keeprs on the other valves on that hole were disloged,sounds like a freak occurance
