that sounds cheap, but you can get a new head for 800 from some place in tampa. but usually when we do someting like that it usuallycomes out around 3500

It dont mess up the head when the belt breaks, just the valves.

you can fixx it with just the few valves that got bent, and the other misc parts (gaskets,coolant,tool for removing/installing valves) its a pretty straight foreward job

Not that i know of, unless he pays for parts and my labor.

I already have the headbolt tool, cam tool, valve tool, and everything else to do that same job.

I actually did a TT that broke a timing belt before.
