Bent valves? or Droped a valve, Pictures inside!

Yes the belt may be in 1 piece, but I bet the timing marks will not line up. I would guess the balance shaft belt let the ghost out or the auto tensioner failed. If you turn the motor over my hand and look at the cam gears with both pins up and the timing marks pointing at each other in the middle of the cam gears you can look down at the crank pulley and the timing marks should line up with 0 on the front cover.

I think you hit it dead on, before i pulled valve cover i tryed turning it over compression was 0 and seen strings in the timeing cover, so if i redo the timeing and "say" my head is good, hould i be able to salvage the block even tho balance shaft belt broke?
