Is the head to damaged to be reused?

Cheers mate, yes we just stripped it off. Yes I didn't know that and yes Rusty did mention that. I really had zero expectation that this head would bolt onto anything without being checked and decked anyway. The valves need to be checked in #2 at least and probably worth re-seating them.
Donated today Daz. Can't wait for this party!
It was a pretty big day yesterday, we got a lot done. None of us had ever taken an engine out before nor stripped one down to this degree.
I've done a head gasket alone with a manual and certainly from go to whoow straight by the book. If this was a head gasket job then the service manual would have been open on the battery for sure!
But, it's a pretty Big But, THIS THING IS FARKED!
here are some pics I took yesterday. This engine has experienced Catastrophic Failure. I can't imagine using anything on this engine again without forensic testing to confirm viability. She is knacker led gents.
Some pics!!

Yes that is a Masdive hole on the block Behind the Brand new 12mm pump!!! Only the mounting bracket of the pump saved it from direct impact! Bloody lucky!! There is damage on the back of the pump mount!!

The failure was in #2 piston and the Conrod disintegrated and blew out both sides of the block parallel with the crank. It also spat forward into the big end bearing on #1 and blew out the left side of #1 too!!! The Crank has taken significant impact. The Piston is molten and Gooorn!!
The Conrod has spun empty on the crank and sliced a trench across the sump which is pretty cool too.
