Default 91 Accord Timing belt snapped.

I was driving my 91 accord down the highway when it suddenly died i put it in neutral(i thought my tranny had slipped or gone out of gear) pulled over and tried to figure out what happened. I cranked the car about 6 times, my horrible screw up, and left for class. My dad picked up the car and replaced the all the belts and let me know i snapped the timing belt, the large one and the tiny one. The car turns on but my mechanic(neighbor) said that i may have bent a valve. Is there any way to check this? A friend is supposed to let me borrow a machine to test compression i was told that from 90-150 and the engine was fine. I looked online and found that if i pulled a paper over the exhaust and it wasn't sucked in and pushed out then it was fine and i did that but that paper is not sucked in. any help would be appreciated.

Does the car run poorly? If not, you may have nothing to worry about.

I feel the car seems to run fine my dad has been using it for the past week. I just haven't able to catch my friend since he works the night shift. I'll post back when I'm able to get it checked. Great video BTW thanks a lot for link.
