You'll definatley need valve work, and if the belt stripped teeth, then likely alot more than just some valves.

yeah its deff. time for a TB job. stop playing w/ the engine it will only make it worse cause now everything needs to be re-alligned. you probably bent a bunch of valves.

i would start lookin for a new head cause its probably cheaper then fixing yours. a shop will probably ask you to bend over so they can take anywhere from $1200-$2000 outta your pocket. if the heads not banged up too bad you can probably sell it and make some money back.

hate to be the one to tell you all of that. sorry. good luck w/ it though.
