remove the valve cover, remove the spark plugs.
Next rotate the CRANK 90 degrees away from TDC, this puts the pistons 1/2 way in cylinders; out of the way of valves.
Now you can rotate the CAM, when the CAM LOBES of any cylinder are pointing to the 4 'O'clock and 7'O'clock position, that cylinder has valves closed.
Then use a tight fitting hose in the spark plug hole and "manually" blow into the cylinder, if you feel no back pressure there is a bent valve.

This method will save you time or money from putting on a new T-belt for a compression check, only to find a bent valve later on.
