1. You can spend $30 on a new timing belt and put it on. Try to start the car. If it doesn't start...oh well you just wasted a whopping $30.
2. You can pull off the head. Send the head to a machine shop to see if the valves are bent (rarely can you see bent valves w/ the naked eye). you'll have to buy new oil, coolant, head gasket, intake gasket, etc....which will cost you more than the price of just a belt. And you'll actually STILL have to buy a belt anyway.
just put the new belt on, see if it starts. If not, you need a new motor.
