That sucks that the damage is that bad though. Trust me, I know the "I wanna quit" feeling all too well. Wasn't due to the motor, but it was due to two destroyed turbos totalling over $2000.
Hang in there. Maven's got a spare head for you for cheap. You'll get it back up soon enough. Just learn from it... next time don't drive it when you have a pretty good idea something isn't right.

Take some pictures of the piston, if you don't mind. You should be able to order just one piston from Wiseco, obviously at a discount. I would make that mechanic buy your new head, new piston, and cost of swapping over valvesprings (if those are still ok).
Keep me updated on what's going on, you know I would be more than glad to lend a hand. I'm sure Al would come back out as well.

Haha... gee thanks guys. I figured he flushed it... I was just wondering why he switched to the green stuff. "Built motor" is not a reason. We have plenty of built motors in our crew, and every single one of them runs DexCool.

That looks nasty. That's good news though about the mechanic and supertech. Told you to hang in there and it'd work out. Good luck. Can't wait to see it get rebuilt.
