I've got the engine in the shop being taken care of now, however I will just not know for certain whether or not there is valve damage until after the belt is in.

From there on I will just have to hope the valves are okay...

What do ya'll think it'll run me after this if any of the valves are bent? Never had this happen before.
A buddy of mine had this happen to his dad and his accord. the valve job cost him about a grand. I hope the engine is ok.
