First off, well done to both of you excellent pilots. I am very happy that both of you are alive and not hurt.
Was this the #3 exhaust valve? Seems I have experienced the same valve swallowing event I have experienced twice but it was in a '65 VW Microbus and '65 VW Bug so I was on the ground and not at 7500'. Total loss of engine. This is probably the biggest reason I question the use of the VW engine.
