Default did i bend my valves?

hey guys
well i got my motor back from the machine shop, and went to set the timing. i didnt set my rocker clearances before i set the timing. so at TDC two of my valves were a tiny bit open (they should be closed right?) well my stupid *** sets the timing like that and cranks the engine over a few times. is there a way for me to check and see if i havnt [freak]ed anything up without opening the engine?
i didnt hear any pistons to valve contact, but i just wanted to know what you guys think. and please say no

When you say at tdc 2 valves were open, are you referring to cyl # 1 ? or 2 were open in another cyl? because thats normal
