So my timing belt snapped, installed it few months ago so don't think it was an install error. I think it was just a defective belt.
I know the valves are bent, I'm wondering if I can get away with just replacing the valves or is it likely the valve seats need to replaced as well?
Also would you replace all valve or just just the ones that are bent, not sure if machine shop cost would be different but from a performance standpoint I'm wondering if it would matter?
Where did you get the belt for future members reference to avoid
It was in Honda packaging bought off eBay, so could likely have been a knockoff but it also could have been OEM, hard to know. I have not pulled the snapped belt yet to verify

I would just grab a used head from a junk car and swap it out. SOHC head w/ cam goes for around $100 in my area.
Also, hope you swapped the auto tensioner out with the belt. I prefer manual ones myself.
No, not personally; however, Eric the Car Guy installed one of their automatic transmissions in his Honda Pilot and seemed impressed.
The salvage yard option, as mentioned above, is the preferable low cost alternative.
Good Luck.

There's hardly any salvage yards in the central US, it's not like California otherwise I would.
