What impala said. If you are reasonably good with tools this is not a bad job. That said interference engines are bad news especially if it broke a piston. Put a belt on it yourself and see if it runs.

“Put a belt on it yourself and see if it runs.”

I think that is bad advise. If there are bent valves, it my run awhile and then swallow a valve. Then you have scrapped the engine without question.

Pull the head and send it through the machine shop to be checked.
