All I can say is top bloke.
I would agree with every thing above tbh. You just wont know anything until its out the car, stripped and clean.
You may be lucky and just have a burned exhaust valve for instance, or you could have a damaged piston etc, you just don't know.
A compression test will tell you lots / point you in the right direction.
Good luck
