Bit of redex through the tank will sort that nicely.

I'm not entirely sure what went on.

Looking at it, and the top of the valves, something looks to be missing from where the rocker arm presses on the valve.

Either 1 valve hit the piston and took the rest of them out, or they all dropped and hit the piston.

What ever it was, it made a real mess of the piston!

Confused Shocked
