i had the same thing happen to me. bolt from the tank bracket fell into the throttle body of the vertical cylinder & got wedged between the head & valve. i replaced 1 bent valve & 1 broken closing rocker. the piston had a mark on it but looked ok. couple of hundred quid with gaskets etc.(you have to buy the valves as a pair. ive still got one if you need it.
