the front head exhaust cam and the rear head intake cam never stop turning as they are driven by the main timing chain. When the gear spins the slave cam stops allowing piston to valve contact. You will bend intake valve's on the front head and on the exhaust on the rear....You will have bent valve's

i think your only main concern is that you didnt bend a connecting rod thats what mine did when i put the failed motor togethere

if your connecting rods aint bent then i would say go with it long as the pistons look ok.. and that the heads can be rebuilt and reused still.. i had put around 1500 in my heads getting them rebuilt and fixed from my failure (maybe thats just crazy but thats the best deal i could find at the time)

pm me if you wanna ask me anything more
