well timing is obviously off

start by removing the timing belt and reinstalling it properly timed.

if that doesnt work then off comes the head...



by the way honda makes plastic covers for the timing belt for a reason :-P

it doesnt mean you bent valves. if you did, then you get to pull the head.

fix the t belt and timing and then try again. and dont leave any more rags in your bay and a buy a cover.
