Popping out the exhaust, or carb. Engine will run rough on acceleration. Pull the valve covers off, and sping it over by hand, watching to make sure all the valve stem heights are the same, at one point. A rocker arm will have accessive slack, at some point. A cylinder leak down test is the proper way, however, it requires several specialized tools.

My timing belt went out at at stop sign on my 2000 Chevy Metro. What are the probabilities that the valves are fine. I am looking for people who have had a like experience or know of someone who has?
VAlves are fine it will not bent valves
How do you know if the valves are bent on a 2001 dodge stratus sedan?
Remove the spark plugs and check the compression in the cylinders, low to no compression will indicate a bent or stuck valve
How do you know you have a bent valve in a big block Chevy?
Well, it will pop out the carb, or exhaust, witchever valve is bent. Pull the valve covers off, and turn the motor over slowly, by hand. Make sure all of the valves are closing, or, the stem height is all the same at one point, on every valve. And remember, a burned valve, will act the same as a bent, or stuck valve. A cylinder leakdown test is the proper way to diagnose this, however, that requires a few specialized tools, which most people do not have in their garage.
Is the ford 4.6 liter motor an interference motor?
Yes it is. I know this by experience. Timing jumped and bent the valves
If the timing chain broke on a 97 Chevy S-10 4 cylinder how do you know if the valve has bent and what does it cost to replace the timing chain?
I'm having that done now(98 S10). $380 to replace the chain. If they have to pull the oil pan to remove broken pieces, it will be $805. When they get it back together, they will do a compression test to see if any valves are bent. Don't know what it will cost to fix that.
How do you know if a have a bent mechanism on my trumpet?
If you have a bent valve slide, or valve, or valve casing, they usually wont move. Valve's and valve casings would prevent the valves from moving, while bent valve slides wont easily pull out. If you suspect a bent valve, valve casing, or slide, try cleaning and oiling it first, valves and slides can become stuck with the lack of valve oil or slide grease.
