I don't understand the "the car is toast if a valve hits a piston" comments. Are valves and pistons not available? Because changing them is easy as well.
I actually had an exhaust valve smack the piston on the Sporty I use to have after replacing cams and the timing mark on one was off a tooth. It hit dead on and didn't even bend the push rod. It was no worse for wear. Sanded the little dent in the top of the piston to avoid a hot spot, checked the valve for leakage, and threw it back together.
