What are the chances of having damage the valve guides?

Looking at the piston damage (ringed) what are the chances of that failing in the near future?

Thanks delmeekc, I may just take you up on that once I've seen how much damage is done.

Is it worth replacing the rear CCT while I'm at it? No idea how long thats been in there!

I'll be whipping the head off in the morning to see how much damage it has done. Looks like I'll be looking for a cheapo runaround for a while!

Just replaced the front CCT after braking down on Tuesday 70 miles from home hoping that all the problem was is the CCT.

So I'm riding along stuck behind a lorry at about 40mph in 2nd gear. It's clear the other way so I open her up, ch...
