2001 civic ex vtec head

My 2001 honda civic ex timing belt snapped on start up and it bents my values

I have a couple of questions on the repair

Is there anything else would need to get or do..Does the Engine Cam have to be machined or anything?

Thanks for your help!

its always good idea to have a machine shop look it over, and almost always they will recommend milling it to get a straight mating surface. they will also clean it up and test compression to make sure it will work on the car.
