That could be really nasty, if the valves have broken the stem and left the head of the valve bouncing around in the cylinder there could be substantial damage to the head as well.

You will need to have the motor stripped before making decisions and see what is damaged, then add up what it's going to cost and decide if you want to do that or go for a 2nd hand motor in good condition.
