Default focus st170 timing belt

So a week or 2 back my timing belt went and skipped a good 10 teeth engine cutout and caput. Suspecting valve damage i decided to take the head off strip it and sent it to the machine shop.
Came back with all 8 inlet valves bent and 2 exhaust valves bent. Got all that sorted inc. Shimming lapping etc. But now am reluctant to fit the new head on. Whats the likelyhood of a crack or some damage to the block in this situation bearing in mind the head underwent a full crack test which came back negative?
I have a 2002 focus st170 which is a 2.0L duratec block.
