not that it matters, just curious if the damage was only done to one head.
Did you change the tensioner when you changed the belt? That's recommended on any car with a belt.
Perhaps you can score a used head? Somebody must have crashed a V6 by now... perhaps you can get it a bit cheaper that way too.
I'm not sure what a used engine is going for installed, but you might want to look into that option too- sometimes by the time you add up the individual parts and the labour to put it all together its cheaper to "simply" swap the engine. You could part out the useable bits of your old engine on the classifieds here to get some of your cash back too.
