OI would recommend my old work at custom works.

They can do the work no problem and can do the pump timing also.

Wierd that timing mark isnt correct on crank. But would be pretty easy to remark once head is off with a dail gauge on top of piston. 

We could probably pull the head without to much hassel

But then setting timing etc might be a ball after its back together. 

Head work would be a skim on the surface.  Recut valves and replace any suspect ones, and fit new valve stem seals through out. 

My guess is its the 3 front valves that are the issue with that  broken cam

Aside from replacing all the valve stem seals, you might get away with just lapping in some new valves to replace any bent ones. The thing to check is that sometimes valve to piston interference can split the valve guide insert. But it taint nothing to check. 

My brother once had a cam belt snap on a yucky 1500 12 valve civic. We just threw away the four bent zhorst valves, threw in four new ones lapped the lot, and banged in new guide steals. Chucked it back togther and profit.

Living in the fast lane from now mate. Shit its a hoot to drive.

Couple of things to sort out this weekend (list is for me to remember)

  • Get some heater hose and plumb in heater
  • Add fitting (and by fitting I mean a piece of pipe) to intake pipe and run breather pipe into intake to stop stank getting into car 
  • Sort out boot alignment. It doesn't shut properly and squeaks like a motherfucker
  • Drive it some more
