You forgot Really REALLY bad:
-Lifter/Valve spring/etc that causes the bottom end to be lunched.
If it's a bad spring/lifter etc..., he may get lucky with just having to replace the affected valve train components. But if he keeps starting the engine up to check it out, that is unlikely.
TC - DO NOT START YOUR ENGINE! You may be able to save the bottom end.
