If the valve is hung open far enough when it gets "kissed" . . . ↓↓↓







That bent valve stem in the first picture belonged where you see a "good" exhaust valve in the head section picture. Pieces of the missing valve head took out the missing stuff in the red circles on its way to wherever it ended up at. A few bits are embedded in the top of the piston


Water will pour into the cylinder, hydro-locking it (which bends rods) and the sudden quench will probably crack the cylinder wall in addition to the above damage.
