Try not to panic yet. When the Sbelt fails, it can get caught in the Tbelt and cause the Tbelt to slip.

Which pulley broke off? From the Sbelt or Tbelt?

If the Tbelt is slack and no longer turning the cams, you bent a couple of valves. This will be an 8+ hour job for an experienced mechanic. 2-3 days for you. And the cheapest route is to find a head in a pick&pull that looks close to your year and use that. It is still not a fun job, bending over the engine bay all day.

There are outfits that sell reconditioned heads, but I would only go that route if I were keeping the car for at least 10 more years, or it was a 1995 T5R.

The labor charges vary from state to state, and city to town.

Because of the VVT on your engine, you will need a cam lock tool. You can search Ebay for a good one. The Haynes manual is good for torque specs and general engine work, but things change from year to year.

If you decide to DIY, consider replacing the 20 valve stem seals while the head is out of the car.

There are some nice 2004-6 examples on the market now...
