I was under the impression that if the timing belt goes the head is fucked... Good to know it may be salvageable! Number 1 definitely has bent valves, pulled the plug with some struggles and I can actually see the valves through the spark plug hole. Not to mention the spark plug itself is destroyed. #2 appears to have one intake valve bent as well. Rocker was almost off, and the valve sits lower than the one next to it.

I might have the head off tonight to inspect it and pulling the engine this weekend. Gonna go from there, I'll keep you guys posted.
