200Tdi Head Gasket or Something Else?

Even with the amount of wear on those shells, Im surprised that a piston contacted valve(s) due to that alone.
Do you have an oil pressure gauge..?

It would have been interesting to measure piston protrusion and check the gasket thickness.

Could the valve(s) be opening too far? tappet clearances or cam timing out..?
 
What head gasket did you pull off (how many holes)?
Any signs of the block or head being skimmed..?

Bit of info here;
