Whats the crank shaft look like! Rod broke at crank and you said it was locked-up, I would think there is a good chance the crank has some damage.
With what you have to do, rod, main bearing, piston pin, and gaskets. I would just go ahead and ring it and hone cylinder.
You can check the valves by turning the head over and poring a small amount of gas around the valve seat. If the gas go's away then the valve is not seated. Its no big deal to hand lap the valves to seat them.
Then you would not have to take it back apart and buy gaskets twice!
