Not sure if this is the same engine as the 900 V6, but if it is you can count on multiple bent valves. There is just so little clearance that if a cam goes even a few degrees off-time, valves hit pistons. Bent valves and valve guide damage are the results. After you have the heads repaired(and they are repairable) the next challenge is lining up all four cam gears to put the belt on correctly. You must have the appropriate manual for this. I'm a fair mechanic, but htis is a job for my friendly garage guys! I bought a 900SE that had a belt failure; cost me about $1500. by the time all was done. I bought the car right, so it was well worth it.
Good luck!
