Long story short I stripped a timing belt and have the head at an engine builder getting inspected for damage. Am unsure yet if anything is bent.
I have a ported/polished PR3 head with OEM valves, Skunk2 springs, retainers and pro1 cams. It's done about 60-65,000 k's.
The builder has suggested a valve grind. Is this worth it/necessary?
And what else should I look at doing/replacing? Eg: new head gasket? new studs? (currently has ARP's I think)? water pump? tensioner? etc etc
My dad took the head in for me - long story - so I haven't spoken to the builder myself yet.
Please suggest what DEFINITELY needs doing as opposed to what probably should be done and what would be nice to do while the head's off.
I am on a budget at the moment - bad timing for this to happen :( because a b20 on the bottom would be nice ;)
