The motor could have temporarily seized causing the t belt to over run the pully thus rip the teeth off the belt. Try pouring oil in the car and see if the block turns with the starter and that will tell you if the block is seized up. If the t belt is the only problem, bent valves aren't a huge issue. John has repaired 2 cars with less than 200 in parts including paying ryan or john to put the belt on. The car was assembled fine. A person with timing belt experience put the belt on and set the tension and everything. He has done it a few times for us.
