If a valve was stuck open, the "bucket" would not have risen due to the spring not pushing the valve closed and bucket up.
Even a closed valve when engine stationery, can "stick" open when forced open by the cam, but again bucket would not have risen for the above reason, spring not closing the valve etc..
looking at the pictures again, all the inlets have hit the pistons ( other way round more like ) but no tell tale marks on the exhausts, maybe they clear or miss the piston crowns.
The belt was perfectly ok ??
any other history with this car like, its just had a new cam belt and then this happened ( not timed correctly, or belt not tensioned correctly ? ) ??
academic now cos the damage is done, by still nice to know why. history repeating its self is not good.
