As above unless you know what your doing I would say leave well alone and take to someone who knows what there doing, you could end up doing more harm than good.

better to check the bottom too just in case the snapped valve drops.....

80K miles or 5 yr for belt.

Well, a nice 2nd hand engine might be better value if too much damage been done when the belt snapped.

I do think that just replacing the engine could work out at a similar price...

Plus you'd need to get the timing belt changed on that too if it hadn't been done
