While the belt's off, turn the intermediate shaft in its normal direction and see if it's feeding oil to the top end. You'll probably have to spin it with a drill motor or the like. If you get good oil flow, clean things up a bit and put it back together.

If no oil, remove the second head bolt back from the front on the exhaust side (I THINK that's the one that doubles as the oil passage to the top end) and see if you can clean it out some how.

I had a cam freeze up once due to poor oil circulation, and like everyone else is saying, it looked quite a bit worse than your's.
