87 Shadow Timing Belt

Hey I have a 87 Shadow (Automatic)and the camshaft locked up and the crankshaft spins on the timing belt. Does anyone know if it bent the valves? I know it does on some, but have heard both ways on this model. I am seeing if I need a new engine or just a new camshaft(or bearings) and timing belt. Thank you very much for your help,
Wil

Did your timing belt break, or is it still intact and on the engine?
Were you getting good oil pressure at the time it locked up?
Why don't you pull off the valve cover and take a peak?

The belt didn't break but it is torn out at the bottom. So it might has well of broken it. Yes was getting fine oil pressure. Haven't had the time to do anything yet.
Thanks,
Wil
