Sounds like you have a bent valve or two, people have just replaced the head/s and gotten away with it, sounds like you might be an ideal candidate as failure happed at a standstill.

Hi mate as above expect bent valves because it happened on start up you hopefully will get away with head re-build usually guides and valves or a replacement head good luck
