Replace the rocker. No other option.

You need a short 5mm Allen key. Undo the bolt and nut going through the rocker shaft and slide it out. It's not hard to do.
No need to mess with the timing but you need to turn the engine over until there's no pressure of the rocker. (loose like a valve adjustment)

Good luck. Hope the valve isn't stuck... That may have been what caused it to break in the first place.

I hate to say this but I think you over revved bending the valves. That's why your rocker broke.

Try to move the valve with a screwdriver; it should move relatively easily and smoothly.

If you can't move it, the valve is bent from contacting piston from valve float.

JB Weld alone is insufficient to repair the damage. You will want to shore up the repair with some duct tape.

Seriously though, you need a leakdown test.
