2.0tdi faulty gates timing belt slipped 2 teeth 1 broken rocker

Ok, so I’ve managed to go a little bit further with this over the weekend and pulled the head. Was just going to replace the broken rocker and retime with a new belt. Anyway, with the head off I can see that the valves have touched the pistons but remarkably the valves all seem to operate smoothly when the cams are rotated. There are 2 rockers that are visibly broken. I guess I now need to remove the cams and check all the other rockers and maybe for spun lobes.

Looks like the damage was limited to just 2 broken followers. Seems I could be lucky? I’ve ordered a INA timing belt kit and a head gasket kit complete with all the other seals and have even splashed out on a set of glow plugs! I think I’ll change the cam sensor while it’s all apart too. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed, wish me luck!
