Default Worst nightmare, cambelt snapped....

Evening gents, just had a call from my mate who's got a small turbo Escos, it's shat the cambelt doing 30mph up a big hill.

He's asked me to have a look at it for him, so we're going to take the head off at the weekend and see what's what.

What is the likely damage? Or is it impossible to say? Bent valves and fucked guides as a minimum? Are we talking bottom end as well with a possible fucked piston?

I'm fairly handy with a spanner but rebuilding heads is a bit out of my league so will have to get someone to do that.

Any help or advice appreciated.
