Are you able to view your camgears since you say there motion less? If there not moving while cranking that should be an obvious indication of a broken timingbelt.

Yea I'd start checking your grounds, then check each plug for spark. If you recenly unplugged any connectors/harnesses in the engine bay check those to make sure they're secure. Its a Honda, its prolly something simple, just mysterious till found. Let us know...

Next would probably be to pick up a new timing belt, water pump and tensioner. Then make sure your new oversized valves aren't going to touch the pistons, then a tune.

Re: b18c1 blown up???
It came off of it, didnt it?
Why wouldnt it go back on?
Get a new head gasket as well.
Seriously though, i don't see why you're asking if it'll go back on? It'll be fine.
Make sure the pistons are OK wherever the bent valves were. Now might not be a bad time to replace bearings in the bottom end either (at least rod bearings)
