The answer might depend on you and yet I know that bebuilding a Honda engine is said not to be near as good as a new engine. If you can do the work, great. You are looking at a new head. You may find a good used one. Shopping time!

Suggested Repair
Expect cylinder-head damage from the failed timing belt. Shop for a new or good used head, and compare that with engine replacement, since a Honda rebuild is often considered less desirable than a replacement engine.
