09 Journey 3.5L bent valves on #2

Hello, 

So my timing belt snapped while driving. Got it home, computer said bad cam position sensor, replaced that, tried to start it (this is where I think I bent the valve) opend up the timing belt cover and saw the belt was slack. Changed the belt and water pump whileni was in there since it had a leak. Got all the timing mark lined up perfect, closed it up. And it started just fine. Runs really rough and coding for #2 misfire. I'm positive the valves bent. My question is, can i pull the head, without pulling the motor? I cant find any videos or info on this. Please help! Thanks for any info!

John/Horace, thank you,

 

Well, its on the left bank, so at the front of the engine compartment, and if i take off the timing pulley, all the intake parts, and the cam followers, if should be able to slide the cam out enough to get past the timing belt/water pump housing and lift the head off. I dont see anywhere in pics and diagrams where the head would be attached underneath the cam sooo?‍♂️ the engine has 191,000 miles on it.
