Call Ian or Sha at pole position, one of them should be able to give you a ballpark figure over the phone.
Head of offending valve will have to be removed to assess the damage.

Not really known for dropping valves. What makes them think that. More likely to have bust a piston if its the standard engine. Suspect if it is confirmed that it has dropped a valve then it will be pretty catastrophic inside

Ringland failure on No.4 piston as an educated guess.
