Sorry it's happened! Gutted for you.

I would say to anyone, now is the time to get a manual, get the spanners out and start fixing it yourself, repair bill will be big bucks, but it's not that hard a job as long as you take your time, take advice and go step by step.

That is unfortunate. very bad luck. If the valve clearances are out then that suggests that you have some bent valves so you wont know the exact amount of damage until the head has been removed to visually inspect.
