Default Mitsubishi LPG vvt self destructed

My inlet vvt failed this morning engine obviously died at tick over rpm. I pulled the cover back at the side of the road and saw the shredded belt. There is a chunk of metal loose behind the pulley, but more of a worry was the fact that the whole area was awash with oil. It was soaking wet. Can anyone let me know plz if this is terminal, or worth the investment of new kit and possibly a head off to repair bent valves, or should I just walk away. I have to say the car has been excellent and I was loving the fuel price!
Thanks guys.
