I'd throw that head away. The seat is obviously bent. At the least it needs to be removed and another installed and ground to fit, new valve. The valve punched the head pretty good and there's a water jacket under there somewhere just waiting to leak.

 

Have to ask for a picture of the piston top. Number 4 cylinder?

WOW!

That is about the least amount of damage I have ever seen when a valve lets go.

 

I would think a decent machine shop would be able to check the head. If it is still intact structurally, have them remove the seat, repair the seat area and install a new seat and valve.

 

I had an intake come appart, and yes I was able to have it fixed.
