I don't think so. check the belt again maybe get another experienced honda guy to check it out, sometimes it takes another set of eyes to catch something new

Broken timing belt subsequently bent some valves. Rebuild/replace the head and it should be ok

It would more likely have select dead cylinders vs low all around. My CRX cam split between 2 and 3. 1 and 2 were like 130 and 3 and 4 were zero because nothing was being moved in or out of them
