Ouch! Were the heads new assembled units? If so it my have had a tight guide and the valve seized. Props to your builder for standing behind his work. In the time we live in it seems we hear more horror stories than good reputable people. Hope it all works out.

looks a little lean compared to the other cylinders.to much heat will stick that valve..could also come down to water flow thru the cylinder head.2 engines down,,something in the set up is amiss.
