I will have a look at the engine before pulling it out, the fan belt is still intact so I am happy the cambelt is likely to be ok short term to test is starting.
remove the cover (over the injection-pump's pulley) on the tming case & have a looksee, if theres belt damage there'll probably be carbon . dust from the rubber in there?
I will pull the rocker cover and remover the melted remains of the oil cap
won't stop the engine running though
a quick look at the injector pump I am not sure if that will have survived, I don't know what rubber seals etc are inside of the injector pump but I can certainly see some melt residue around the throttle spindle.
from your photo, things don't look too bad there...
theres a nylon / plastic disc on the ip's spindle that seperates the return spring - probably this thea is fried
some fuel-pipe to a can, remove any wiring / alternator belt (isolates alternator creating charge - more fizz) and hotwire direct to the startermotor from a battery (+12v & earth, +12v to ip stop-solenoid and momentary power (screwdriver / spanner crossing terminals) for starter solenoid
ALSO...
look @ oilcooler hoses as these can make a little mess if damaged
