Tried searching threads, no luck. Should be hundreds. Anyway, question is, how likely is valve damage if a belt died on the highway? Can feel the motor stopping between valves now, heads have already been shaved once. Thx Jim :-\

the chances of all valves being bent are low. but the chances of some valves, maybe all on one side, are extremely high.

just because the valves are bent does not mean you would need to shave the heads, as long as you remove and re-install them in the proper manner.

 

if you do a compression test before you remove the heads you will have a good idea of which side has bent valves, maybe both. if not, you will need to check them both.
