Need to do more than pull the vaalve cover to see if you have bent valves. If the t belt was broken 99 percent of the time you have bent valves. Pull the head
lay it on its side with the exhaust side towards the sky and poor water into the ports. If water leaks out of the combustion chamber you have a bent valve
repaeat on intake side.

It will work to some extent but really in my view you need to pull the head. A slightly bent valve may not show on a compression test but drive on it for a prolonged time and it will cause some major damage. Dont guess do it right
