I think you have 2 issues going. 1 the timing chain skipped a tooth and needs replaced. 2. The heads need pulled and taken to a shop for repair. I would probably go for screw in studs but that is a discussion for you and the machinist. My thought is that you jumped time and smacked a valve causing the rocker stud to pull out. Now is a good time to check out threads on rebuilding heads vs replacement.
