hey,
i jumped timming acouple weeks ago and tour it apart and fixed the timming. the car didn't run right so i did a compression check and got 0, 65, 85, 110 which is pretty sad surprisingly it ran tho... so i took the head off and took it to get rebiult, all the valves were bent and i can notice that they all hit the pistons.. my pistons have little well not little but gashes in them were the vavles hit.. will this affect the car running wise ? theres no holes or anything, but i don't want to put this head back on and it not run correctly.. thanks Cory :laser:
 
It is normal for the valves to cause small dents in the piston tops. They will cause no running problems and you are OK putting it back together as long as there arent holes in the pistons and/or they didnt get cracked.
 
ight cool i was gettin kinda worried.. i didn't see any cracks or anything like that but ill make sure..thanks alot
 
When my balance shaft belt snapped and the timing skipped, this was the result:
