Default room in combustion chamber for valves if belt breaks ?

i was driving home on highway when i lost all power (motor) took home look'd at rockers and they all came out ! belt did not break , skipped a tooth or two ? should i just repalce the belt and manually crank it to see if i have clearance and do combustion test or is there another way ? let me know if there is clearance for valves thx sad =(

No there is not. This is what you call an interferance engine. A non interferance engine has space

if the followers came out i can tell you 99.9% chance you got bent valves.
once in a very great while one gets lucky, but the rockers wont spit.
the reason they fall out is the bent valve doesnt return all the way which leaves slop between the cam, valve stem and lifter and lets it fall out.
every one thatsout you can garuntee is bent, and probly a couple more.[&:]
hate when that happens.
