[Healeys] Non Healey engine question.

Thanks for the words of wisdom... I guess I will shell out for a new belt and see if it has compression..

I'm pretty sure the Saturn motor is an interference engine so it looks like you dodged a bullet.  If the motor didn't blow up, I'd say you are likely good to go.

...flood the combustion chambers with fuel.. leak by test. Do the
      valves move smoothly through the range of travel.... dave

I have been tasked with repairing my B in L's 2008
        Saturn Astra.

        1.8 litre Ecotec engine. 

        Cam belt shredded.

        Some sites say this an interferrence engine some not... I can
        see no evidence of the valves having touched any piston.

        The exhaust cam appears to have slipped about 270 degrees and
        there is NO compression.

        The question is...if there are no marks on the pistons can I be
        fairly confident that the valves are okay and installing a new
        belt and resetting the timing will be all that is needed?
