It is a valve to valve interference, meaning the valves can hit each other when the belt breaks. And of course, bend!

Only if you dont mind pulling the head and sending it to the machine shop for inspection, will need some valves replaced, possibly some guides. But a belt alone wont solve any of thiese problems.
