If you want my opion take the motor out now and have it gone through. A valve hitting a piston can cause enough damage to bend a rod or mess up the rod bearing. I had a intake valve seat fall out and then it caused the valve to hit the piston. Every thing looked ok and I tried to just replace the place the piston and the heads. After it was back together and I saw there was oil preasure issues. It all had to come back out. Take it out now and have the rods and bearings checked now imo.

Now my pockets near on dry & still have to pay for getting it all fixed and retuned.
