You will have to get past these, although yours are not failed there are good tips here.
If you are careful you can remove the timing belt without disturbing the timing, but as long as you are into it this far I again recommend replacing the timing belt and tensioner, as they were subject to extreme temperatures also. Resetting the timing is quite easy, and a new belt will have the added benefit of being marked to align with the timing marks on all sprockets in their proper postion.
If you have access to a compression tester you might do a quick check before you remove the timing belt, that will tell you a great deal about the internal condition of your engine before you spend a lot on a shot in the dark rescue.
