Hi there,
Thank you for the donation.
When a timing belt fails there's no warning or any noise as the valves will bend in a micro second, the damage is done before you even realize that you have a problem. I would fit a new timing belt first and do a comp test, the belt will take less than an hr to fit up to the stage that a comp test can be done. Check all comps, you may only have 1 or 2 bent valves and the repair will be cheaper than a new head, but if all comps are down remove the head and get it tested & checked for a viable repair first.
