YES.

If you suspect valve train damage, you need to pull the and head and inspect. Might as well replace the timing belt while you're at this point, so, another YES!

Inspect the head and timing belt before you replace anything.

Or you can do a compression or leak down test first. If your engine is having problems cranking in cold weather you need to check other things out.
