Timing belt jump a tooth or two

so i was driving along and blamo my 91 si aint going no more... i guess the tensioner broke or cam loose and the belt jumped a tooth or two not sure yet just towed it home and went inside...

my question is do you think i bent some valves or can i just put it back and on the correct tooth and will be good to go?

thanks

I dont thin you should worry about bent valves at all ..Just worry about getting a new belt and tensinor and best of luck

i dont know if it was the tensioner, i think frozen or broken water pump makes more sence.
