take out all your spark plugs and remove the valve cover. Then find a tight fitting hose to go into the spark plug holes.
Rotate the crank pulley 90 degrees from TDC, that puts the pistons 1/2 way in the cylinders.
Now you can rotate the cam to close the valves at each cylinder [cam lobes pointing downward 4 'O' clock and 7 'O'clock] and use the hose to blow into the cylinder. your lung pressure is enough to 'feel' if there is a valve bent/open, and also you will hear air in the intake/exhaust manifold.
I would do this before putting on a new T-belt
