Default Head damage - how bad does it look?

A rod went through my block (eagle) and my piston made contact with my head. How bad does this damage look? If there are any head porters in here, please include how expensive of a fix this looks to you.

there is hardly any damage that i can see......i would say it would cost you nothing to repair only maybe have the valves checked and have it resurfaced.

The damage in question is right around the valve seat on the intake valves (upper 2 in the picture)

Any options for fixing this would be much appreciated. I.E. maybe oversized valves with a new valve job?

Looks like in-between the intake and exhaust on the right is hammered a little. I would round it over a bit. Don't let the sharp corners in the combustion chamber. Bad news, it will cause pre-detonation.

But it doesn't look that bad at all, your lucky

It is fixable but a valve job is a must

I sent these pictures to a few porters, and I have to say they responded very quickly, and also with good news.
