Toby,
I think if it was my engine I would have the crank tested before using it. You are correct about it taking a big jolt. All that force has to transfer somewhere. If the rest of the valves are ok, then the length must be ok or they would be hitting. When you said stuck valve, did you mean it was stuck open or shut? For some reason, that piston had to have came up farther than the others do to have bent the rod and smashed the end of the plug.
