Default Does this look like a valve hit the piston? Need help?

As soon as the noise started i just quit driving the car so not that much damage would happen. Turmed it on and went to drive the car. I took off not hard or nothing like that then it just felt like the car just lost power. Drove it home and it was a light tapping sound. Turned it off then the next day i was gonna hear it again. Then it was just a louds *** bang sound. So i just ran it like that in the driveway for 2 min that was it. Dose this sound like it would be a broken valve spring or something worse???
Or can someone see anything on these Pics?? Any help is good.






piston 1 driver side

piston 2 driver side

piston 3 ds

I cant tell of any slap damage. Just alot of carbon. Nothing a set of forged internals and alot of cleaning wont take care of .

HUH??? No it looks like someone cut the pistons 50-40 thousands before.If the valves hit the pistons and the edge of the valve would be shinny..

Yeah i dont think i see any either but I dont know if it would show just being on for a couple of mins. I dont think when it was really loud i let is sit there for 2 min it might have been less. More like 30 sec now that i think of it. Then i just never cranked her back up. How do you spin the crank now that the heads are off to see or hear if the Piston on the ds is Loose?

i'd take your valves out and see if they're bent... that would give out a good idea.

it doesn't matter if it was on for 10 sec. you would still see a shinny edge on the valve and piston if they hit.
