valve is hitting piston after timming being done

[newTSIguy]

Ok so today i did my timing, a lined the marks up as the book said to, blah blah blah, when i went to turn it over, one valve was hitting the piston, dont know where i went wrong, but obviously i did somewhere along the line, my question is is it possible that i did not bend the valve, can i just re-do the timing and be good, it did not sound super loud, and is there any way to find out if my valves are bent, without pulling the head? thanks for your help in advance

I was just lining up the marks, it was VERY stupid of me to think it was that simple, but thats what I thought and that is what I did,

Hey I'm not altogether sure I was right on what I said earlier, I had a car that you had to do this but come to think of it that was a single cam engine where the cam controlled both sets of valves so it was possible to align the marks and still be out, ive now searched this sight and also read the manual and they say all you need to do is line the marks up and put the belt on, the only thing you need to watch for is the oil pump sprocket which only lines up every 6 turns of the other pulleys, heres a how to, follow this and you might see where you went wrong and get it wright, good luck and let us know how it went
