Default timing problem, belt broke.

I was on my way home from work doing 65 MPH when my car died. I got a tow home and found out my belt broke.
I replaced the belt and it ran but poorly. I did a compression test and #2 cylinder had nothing. All other 3 had right at 155 LBS. I think I bent some valves. Any thoughts?
I do most of my own work and do not want to spend a ton of money but am thinking $350.00 to check and fix the head and new gaskets.

Bent/broken valve for sure, a leak down test will tell you where leak is exhaust or intake valve, or both. 94

Took the head off and took it to the machine shop. Hope to hear something soon. It is a 1991 with 225,000 miles on it but I just can not let it die. Thanks for the reply.

got a call from the shop and they told me that I have 2 bent intake and 2 bent exhaust valves. Will be about 300>00 to fix the head. I think it is well worth it as I believe the car has another 100,000 miles left in it.
