Get yourself on the search for a good 16 valve head, or get your rebuilt (what 500 bucks?).

No, at least a couple of bent valves for sure.

Nice engine (got one) but NEEDS TO BE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED from timing perspective.

Read FAQ, and note the weaknesses:
1.. oil pump pulley bolt
2.. balance shaft pulley plastic vs. metal
3.. poor quality belts or poor tension
4.. old tensioner

if you plan on keeping the car, keep up the timing for heaven's sake!
