If its a diet engine then did my Gf's last year '4 valves,2 inlet and 2 exhaust, and bring back the spare' Thats what the guy told me when i went to get parts for it and he was right 2 inlet and 1 exhaust. They are interferance engines which means the valve full travel interferes with the piston full travel. (other factors have sod all affect). Check the head for true but mine was flat and so are most ( internet search). Takes no time to swap and nice and light too.

The clearance between the top of the piston and the valve when closed is about 7mm, so if the valve is in the open position when the cam belt snaps there is no place for the valve to go other than into the top of the piston. Normally one or two valves will bend but sometimes the valve actually punches a hole through the top of the piston. My advice would be to try and source a replacement engine from either a scrap yard or failing that try to get a re-conditioned engine. The cost of replacing the valves/pistons with all the associated gaskets, cam belt, water pump etc will be higher than a replacement engine.

You won’t really know the extent of the damage, if any, until you take the head off. Assurances that you have definitely bent the valves are not correct. A number of things govern the extent of damage but primarily (1) the speed at which the engine was turning and (2) the load on the engine when it snapped. I don’t know the car but its worth noting that some engines are designed so the valves can not hit the piston….. Good luck.

It will always bend the valves because it, as with most modern cars, has an overhead cam.

this engine is a piston to valve engine so you would on no way gods earth not have a bent valve or two not even if it was just ticking over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
