Who did the timing belt? Reputable shop?
Sounds like they didn't put a new tensioner on it or didn't tighten it right, it slipped a few teeth, threw the valves off, and you coooked 'em.
When they changed the timing belt, they did the tensioner too, right?
Either way, your timing belt slipped because of stupidity in your shop and roasted your head.
Don't worry, Y8 heads aren't expensive though .
I'd pull that head then give that shop a moral beat down in front of customers.
EDIT:
Well before the mental *** whooping tell them what happened and see if they'll make it right.
