You'll also be buying a new head.

Yes, they're interference motors. Until the valves are bent out of the way, of course.

Willing to bet there is a bit of smashed up stuff inside the engine (valves and bottom of head, both which will need to be replaced) and also possibly dented the tops of the pistons.
