2005 Aveo with a bad belt

[bitter-fitter]

You must have missed the last few posts. My pistons are fine. Only the valves are trashed. My question is if I get a reman. head without the cams and lifters; what is involved in putting my cam and lifters into the new head? Is it nothing more than swapping the cam and lifters and retorquing the cam bearing caps? Are there any bearings or clearances I need to check?

it is basically that simple yes, you have to set timing etc as well (before it gets bolt to the engine)
the head reman would not oversize the cam carriers/caps or any reason but damage, and they would tell you if they did. but i do not see reason they would. Clearances are not particularly set, and the ohc hydraulic lifters do not need valve lash or anything like that

honestly though, you could almost swap out the bent valves for new and lap them in yourself.. if there is no surface damage.
