First of all if you broke the top guide and jumped time you need a timing set and have to remove the front cover to replace everything anyways.Its easy to remove the front cover on those engines.You also need new cam bolts.So how many teeth did you jump? Those engines like to bend valves I have even seen them split the valve guides in the head when smack the valves.
