Sorry to hear about the valves iain, tbh its more or less impossible for a piece of tape to bend valves. the only thing i can think of is, when the bottom AUX belt pully slipped, maybe the crankshaft pully slipped too causing the valves to collide with the pistons. Imo the car will NOT give you anymore problems as its had new waterpump headgasket clutch tensioner and rollers, timing belt. All the best buddy

Its funny how the company skimming the head found the valves. Most engineering companies like the head completely bare so they can wash and do the necessary machine work then send it straight out again.
