Its very likely that some of the valves are bent, usually on these vehicles when the timing belt fails the pistons contact the valves but does not cause cylinder head damage. I remove all of the valves and roll them on a flat surface to see if they "wobble", some of the bends are very minor and are difficult to see with the naked eye, but can cause serious driveability issues.
Testimonial: "Thanks, great suggestion about how to check the valves for straightness."
it is non-interference. But it's a very close fit and if an engine is excessively carboned up that can be enough to cause interference.
