wtf are you talking about? Are you saying your motor is running rough because of a worn cam or because the timing chain stretched/broke and bent valves? If you bent valves that bad I wouldn't be surprised if one of your pistons is cracked as well.

The pistons are fine, the head has so much wrong with it, rockers are worn, camshaft lobs are really worn, hard to stretch timing chain on this one cause its pretty tight, valves don't look good at all they weren't adjusted properly or something, I just want a source for a referbished head. idc if it can be fixed. Just want a better one then replacing all the parts on it.

The pistons CAN'T be fine if the valves are bent...
After reviewing all your posts & previous threads, I HIGHLY suggest either ditching the car or taking it to a trusted mechanic before you do more damage.

Apparently you don't care how much it will cost, nor if it's done correctly...
So yes... install another head a pray the rest of motor is absolutely perfect.

Because your posts don't ever make sense... that's why you are criticized. And you "believe" it's all from the head, though you've stated all along you "just blew the motor"... right after you got it back from the mechanic...
