1)can I replace the timing gear by just removing radiator and water pump, but without pulling the engine?
Yes


2)should I go with steel instead?
Its your call. A new fiber gear is cheaper, but if you don't want to ever do that job again get steel. And I suggest you stay away from the Cloyes set. FYI, I have new original steel timing gears.


3)am I correct to assume that there's no way a piston could have hit one of the valves?
If still using a stock camshaft, it almost impossible for a valve to be hit by a piston.
