Look for a used cylinder head, that is going to be your cheapest quickest fix. The heads on these are identical to the super duty, so they are plentiful. It looks like the damage to the piston is superficial?

It’s great seeing i’m not the only one with this issue. Over the weekend my truck also broke a valve spring, I see a lot of metal debris under the valve cover. I’ll be pulling the head as soon as I get a chance to view over and inspect what damage was done. Hopefully the valve never actually dropped and my short block is okay

It's an easy fix... I swapped my valve spring after it failed and the truck ran like a champ.

Same thing just happened to me... 2014 SCREW @105k. Same #5 cylinder.
Block walls were fine but cylinder head damaged. Was told 6k for new cylinder head or 12k for new engine.
No crate or long block engines available at the moment (Lets go Brandon) so they have to get a small block and build engine... explaining high cost.
I went with the new engine.
