    It depends on if there was contact between the head an piston.Pull the head off an check it for damage.

        Bent valves,cracks in the pistons,Dents on the surface of the head.Should be real noticeable as far as the dented surface of the head go an cracked or dented pistons(this will lead you to piston to valve contact or piston to head surface period).Sometimes bents valves are noticeable sometimes they are not.Just take her head off an check it over real well an possibly have it pressure checked if you ruled out everything else.

          if no damage is done to the a6 head i can use a a1 block to do a low budget engine repair?
