B230F - Shop says broken timing belt bent valves 700 1992

My 740's timing belt broke last week (original 8-valve B230F engine). I had car towed to a shop that has a good reputation. I expected to have belt replaced and drive away (B230F is reportedly a non-interference engine). Shop agreed. Later, they call and say the belt is replaced but there are bent valves (failed pressure check). Shop says San Antonio Vovlo dealer states that the B230F IS an interference engine so broken belt = bent valves.

Before spending more dollars to pull head and examine valves I would like recommendations from B230F brick experts (first hand experience, please; not "I know someone ..." or "I read that ... ." No offense - I have to travel soon and can't waste time on well-intended opinions.

Posting is okay; direct e-mail is preferred (members only).

Thanks in advance. BK
