HI
This is my first post
I don't think a crank shaft end cap would cause valve kiss .
The crank shaft is held in place by several bearings along its length.
A big end, end cap might ... if the big end end cap came loose then the upper shell bearing could dislodge and the piston could move closer to the valves .
I would get a 2nd opinion .
It sounds fixable . You might need new big end bearings and possibly 2 valves . Valve followers ?! Cant be more than the price of a new engine ?!
Me too I would be stripping it and seeing whats what.
My engine was written off by the Ferrari Center in Kent.
Having time on my hands before coming to NZ gave me the time to see what happened and she has been on the limit for over 3 years now and well over the 100,000 miles after a bit of a Trauma.
