Default Cam gear slipped.... what now??

I got a h22a vtec w/ upgraded valves, retainters, and springs. well i had stage 2 cams on there. Apperently the exhaust cam gear was not tightened all the way so when I got on the throttle hard the cam gear slipped and messed with the timing. Is the head screwed?? or can some of my parts be reused. I'm lost someone please help me out??
