So, if the valve spring failed partially maybe the valve would not hit the piston but if it later failed completely then it would and that would cause the damage chain to start.
Headed out to the garage in a few minutes will know more tonight hopefully.

yup with that info certainly sounds like a mechanical issue rather then heat.
