Opinions on cylinder walls?

So, I had a timing belt go bad a while back, and now I’m ready to get it running again. There is some visible scoring. What I need to know is if I could reasonably expect this bottom end to last 5-10k longer at stock boost?

It’s not my daily driver, but I’d like to get it running again and stay that way (more or less) until school is over in two years. Then, I can build a nice engine and get the car the way I really want. In the meantime, when I have the time, I plan on fixing little things and slowly improving the car overall.

I numbered the cylinders to help keep track of different angles of the same cylinder. The valve dents pic is of Piston #1.





















 

And here are some pics of the timing belt area. This belt had about 4 or 5k on it. Apparently, the cam shaft seals were not replaced, and now I know where that ½ qt. of oil per tank of gas all went! The belt ribs sheared at the crank sprocket, but fortunately it was as I was coasting to a stop.







WTF, hair?!?!
