Might not take as much as you think.....
the block is toast since a piece of the piston was ground into the wall. i havent had a chance to look at the crank and rods yet but im betting the crank is toast, hopefully the rods are still good. yeah, there are marks on the head as well.

someone on CEG just posted a few links to some focus threads and there seem to be numerous people having basically the same problem with the Probe pistons (what i had) and them breaking around the valve reliefs. so it could be that the piston broke allowing it to slap which is just enough to hit the head.
