If the valves have hit the pistons.. Will the spots where the valves hit the pistons create hot spots? Seems like that sounds right to me anyway.

A guy with a BBC had almost every valve bent b/c the cam was out of timing. Bent valves and pushrods everwhere. I'm assuming the pistons have some decent marks in them, probably worse than just floating the valves once at a high rpm.

I started my car with the cam timing way off (don't ask me how, because I have no fn clue), made smiley faces on my pistons on all the exhaust valves and bent the valves, but it runs great.
