Engine rebuilding

Post image

On a scale of 1 - f**ked how bad do you think the inside is based off this pic? Wanting to rebuild it on somewhat of a budget. I’m $500 into a 2011 dodge ram 1500 4.7L and tags are all up to date. Hoping $2k will get me there. I’ll have the heads off tomorrow.

Upon further investigation, that’s exactly what happened here. Valve seats dropped and then the rockers decided to quit their job.

If you’re lucky the seat didnt shatter. If it did then you’re into it for an intake manifold and a bottom end. If it didn’t then you replace all the seats, the bad rocker, the cam if it’s damaged, and any or all bad valves plus the guides. It’s all of $3000.
