      from those pictures you could just put in new valves, and put the head back on.

      unless I'm missing something?

      Everything you see is all of it. Nothing wrong with the engine till timing belt broke.
      What do you think of this Cylinder Head from Ebay
      GM CHEVY AVEO 1.6 DOHC CYLINDER HEAD VALS&SPRINGS ONLY | eBay
      Or should I just rebuilt my Cylinder Head and is there any detail how to for it?

      Thank you,

      the head is a fair price, find a local shop first though, the valves are about $150-200 for all 16 of them, you could do them yourself with $50 of tools and a lapping kit. If they dont lap, then you can reseat them with a valve job at a local machine shop and pay $100-200 for that (which is about what that head costs).

      Thanks petrified -- I will do the valve replacement. $99 from ebay all 16 of them.
      Anything else I need to cover while the head is out?

      head gasket?

      you'll need new head bolts, I would do thermostat, water pump, idler pulley (whatever comes in the timing belt kit).

      Dont forget to lap them in, youll need a valve removal tool. Also keep everything organized, you dont want to lap a valve and then use it in a different location, once "mated" thats where it goes. You can install it right then. or number them, etc.
