Default bent valves?

I just turned camshaft sprocket a qtr turn without timing belt installed and the number 1 piston at TDC. any chance i bent valves? i didn't realize what i did until i noticed the 1 piston wasn't at tdc it was a little off, but before turning hte cams it was spot on. just curious if anyone else has done this

valves are pretty hard to bend. i doubt you bent them by hand. just put it all together and compression test.

I've had it happen to me. I've seen it happen to others. I've never seen a valve bend this way. Though, I'm sure it's possible.
