Update:
Well the head gasket from eBay did not fit correctly, so i order one from lordco for a 92 lemans 1.6 shoc, exactly the same.Got a timing belt tensionner from local Chev dealer ,that got it from a dealer in the USA somewhere.The head never came from Ontario, so i got one from a yard for a 92 Lemans 1.6. Now the head is exactly the same, except for the combustion chamber ,witch is deeper. Might have a bit of power lost, but noting very noticeable for now.So I got everything back together, and it run dam good for now, and I now have a non interference engine.Meaning If the timing belt break again the piston won't hit the valves.

Well what was suppose to be a small lost of power turned out to be a bigger lost of power.The engine ran good but there was no guts to it,was very slow on start up,(not a race car)and compression was at 150 lbs.
So I returned to the original head the 1.5 with bent intake valves.I took the intake valves from the 1.6 and put them into the 1.5,(now remember, the 1.6 combustion chamber was bigger than the 1.5 so it also meant that the valves were shorter by like 1/8 of an inch).So after putting everything back together, the engine ran good and had it's original power back and compression was at 180lbs,but had a lot of clicker.I thought that the lifter would adjust slightly but guest not.So after checking a few thing and talking to some people I decided to add a washer under the lifter,I had to do this a few time to get the right thickness for each lifter.
So now it run pretty good has decent power for what it is, clicker just a tiny bit,Will see.
