possible, no way of telling unless you take the head off, I bent 6 valves and broke two completely in half and was lucky it only put a gash in one piston about the size of half a dime or so. I'd just tear it down and check, if you've never pulled the head off just label all the hoses and wires and start unbolting.

Usually no but you have to pull the head anyways. You have a better chance of a valve steam breaking and impaling the valve into the piston. That's not fun. Also another more likely scenario is if you have interference (piston hit's valves) on the upstroke you can squash the rod bearing slightly which will cause a knock down the road. I'd pull the pan and check the rod bearings in whatever cyls hae bent valves. Look for abnormal wear. IF you have any rebearing and plastic gauge.

Note about above reply: If you're tbelt didn't snap. make sure you have the engine on the right stroke such that your'e at TDC (top dead center) on cylinder #1 before you pull the tbelt off. That way you won't roll the cam over and hit something else.
