ok so my timing belt broke and all of my valves bent !!!:notgood: do i need to replacemy pistons??? all they look like is the valves hit no holes:thumb: but do i still have to replace the pistons ?

please help:dsm: :dsm: :dsm: and i have a bran new head coming by usps
 
try doing a leak down test and see if you busted some rings, but if you dont see any signs of knicking or anything i wouldnt worry.
 
you should be in good shape, even if you do have some marks, i usually just clean them up with a file and you are good to go. the leakdown test is a good choice(even though it cant be done since you have your head off already).
 
my new head should be here soon! but i hav already cleaned the knicks off thank you forthe advice
