maybe it's time to make lemonchello:drink:
one other thing to check if you have the cam cover off is if a shim spit out of it's cup.
not good for the cam or valve.
when I worked for fiat in Berkeley, a vendor came in with a shim kit for an insanely low price and we bought it. turns out that they were shims for some kind of vw (damn Germans) and the diameter was .02 smaller than what was needed and wouldn't stay in the cup leading to a lot of engine repairs.
do check the belt for missing teeth,
if the valves went "boing" you can get a used head/cambox assy, clean prepare surface and maybe put in that hot cam you were considering.
it is so much easier to adjust the shims on the bench, but with the good comes the bad. it is a pain in the a## to get to, let alone tighten the head bolts around the cambox without the proper tools. six of one half dozen the other as they say. I think you have a pool of knowledge here and we can get you through this.
