Thanks to all that responded directly and to the list.

I'm going to try installing a belt Saturday and checking compression.  
Hopefully I didn't bend any.  If not, I'll get it pulled and reworked.

Subject: Timing belt broke :-(


What are the chances that I don't have any bent valves?

The belt went after I had slowed almost to a crawl (in 2nd) for a red light
and then was starting to accelerate through after it had changed green.
Low speed, low rpms.
