I agree that optimism is warranted here but there is one other item that we need to verify: appropriate head gasket thickness. Unless the piston protrusion was checked and correct thickness head gasket installed the OP may still encounter hard starting, lackluster performance, and poor fuel economy even after (the probable) timing issues are rectified.
