I would love to see the tops of your pistons, and head. Hopefully there was not too much damage when the exited the engine, but there has to be some pretty good dents in there. Id throw the compression gauge on there, and pull the valves, and spark plugs, and visually inspect the piston crowns with a small light down the spark plug holes. I would be very wary of just givin er after seeing those valves.
Holy Waa!
I would blame the guy you bought it from! He obviously didn't take very good care of it!
I hope you get it back on the trail soon and not have to spend a fortune!
WOW!!! Anything laying in the exhaust pipe or muffler?
Imo, what happend is at some point before you bought it, the piston and/or ring hit and broke them (maybe bad gasket) then the guy replaced the pistons & rings and just put it back together. He may have not even noticed the broken valves. He may have had damage to the head as well and just replaced or repaired it. I don't know any other way that could happen without any other damage.

i'd check yor carb boots they do rip apart , could cause it to run lean and burn them away , have you run any race gas or av gas ? race gas burns slower and could still be burning going out the pipe
OMG's I have never seen exhaust valves that looked llike that and I have seen many. They look like they were put in a vise and wacked with a hammer. If they did that in the motor the motor would be toast. No way can chunks of any size make it thru any part of a Poo motor or it's exhaust without damage a plenty. Chipped? are you that naive?? I smell a Rat. Dave B. would never sell anyone something that is not working correctly. Is this an April fools in Dec.?
Carbs were taken off and cleaned during this maintenance. Didn't see bad boots. I'm thinking I should just replace them anyway due to the mileage.
