Answer
Hello, The question would be how did it get from a dead battery to the valves are bent? They need to tell you how and or why the valves got bent. The timing belt keeps that from happening. If there is a problem with the timing belt or something related to that then I would say it should be on them. The first thing that needs to be done is for them to tell you why.
