You'll just need a shortblock re-build. The head has nothing to do with a rod knocking. It is simply the main bearing or rod bearing wearing extremely thin or actually breaking (spun bearing).
And I think you mean long block,short block or both.
Big blocks are from american car manufactureres.
I priced out a head rebuild and I think it came out to ~1,000 in parts alone. So you can figure 1,500-2,000 for a head rebuild without doing any crazy porting or anything.

No, "longblock" is nearly the whole engine, without all the ancillary parts (alternator, A/C, etc.). "Shortblock" is just the metal part the pistons sit in. You don't have to call Honda for a rebuilt. Almost any experienced licenced mechanic should be able to do it.

So I figured since I needed a valve job, might as well get a 3-angle...

It depends on what you want done and what needs to be done. You don't need a new shortblock unless you've shot a rod through the walls of your old one. If you've spun a bearing on the crank (or the rod), you might only need new bearings (clean up and machine the old one) or you might need a new crank and bearings. The thing is, once you open up an engine, you will see what else you might want to replace since getting the engine to that stage is the bulk of the expense. For example, you may be going in for scored cylinder liners, but if you've got the pistons out anyway, maybe you ought to change all the crank bearings since they're exposed. It can just snowball and put a bigger and bigger dent in your bank account.
