Cruising to dropping a valve…ugh

While enjoying our unrealistic weather for the last month I’ve been driving a lot. Yesterday a valve spring gave way and I dropped a valve. Work to do to determine extent of damage, however, looking for recommendations for undoubted head work that will need to be done. Valve is wedged up, so may be a minute before I am back in the game. Will remove head and check piston and cylinder later. Fingers crossed. Thanks in advance.
 

Paul, I think I mentioned this in a PM, this is the only machine shop I totally trust...

You did Elder and thank you. Having a friend over tomorrow to scope the cylinder and piston to see if the heads come off or the engine comes out.
