Intake seat let go. Ended up resting at angle to valve (odd location, usually they sit flat if loose?) which ended up taking a chunk from top of piston and scuffing cam lobe from pressure created. Much work ahead of us this weekend :-(

The top of that piston looks really bad. Did you wire brush off all the carbon deposits before you took the photo? If not, then it looks like the metal of that piston has gone bad and the metal is disintegrating.
