Default how f****d am i?

so 2days ago my car over heated, i pulled over turned on the heat, and tried to cool the engine done, etc. later that day i had a hard time trying to turn the car over, it took awhile, and then yesterday when i went to start my car it wouldn't even start, so i towed it into school and had my instructors to look at it, no compression in cylinder 1, coolant in the oil, spark plugs soaked in oil, apparently i blew a head gasket, so we took the head off to inspect things and on cylinder 1, one of the exhaust valves had a pretty decent size hole blown through the valve. apparently im fucked, and apparently i should be fine, the head looks good, no cracks or anything

what do you guys think?

well.... replace the valves, gaskets, seals, deck the block make sure you didnt warpe anything.... its not cheap to fix so luckly your doing it your self (im assuming sense you said you had your instructor look at it, im thinking you go to a tech school)

looks? or is cause theres a diffrence all you gotta do is have your instructor get a straight edge (a good one) and make sure the decks level... if you dont do that just cause it "looks" good and its not .. even if it has the smallest amount of warpage the HG might not seal properly and youll have to redo it...... just get a straight edge and save your self time and money
