Timing belt broke while setting TDC

I have taken the steps to start a timing belt change on my 1984 944 the other night. Got to the stage of setting the car to TDC, so I am turning the crank by hand and the belt just snapped, didn't hear it, and noticed when I looked to see where the cam gear mark was at. Snapped far left of the cam gear. And at that point I stopped, went in and cracked a beir. Now I think the cam gear was at about 1-1:30 before the belt broke, now it's at about 4oclock. Do I continue with this by only replacing the belts and doing a compression test, or should I take the head off and do a visual check of the valves? What's my odds here Docs.?
