a frozen crank should indicate it did make it to a valve. do you think the size of the piece was small enoguh to make through which might be better than a bent valve. would pulling the valve covers tell you if it was?

Possibly if the "bent valve" BENT at it's fully open position, then there would be excessive valve lash between the tip of the valve stem & the rocker.

The engine not turning is a good indication of a bent valve.

The positive is that it happened whilst the engine was idling/low rpms minimizing the damage vs a 5,500 rpms engine seizure...Mark
