they have not broken, there is only the slightest bit of damage to the side of the cups on 2 of them where the pushrod has kicked when it bent after the cambelt broke

Range Rover Blues:
If they have been involved in a cambelt breaking then for peace of mind I'd swap them all, they are hardened metal which can be brittle and they might well bust soon after you get it back on the road.

As for preventing it starting, I can't see that unless they are sticking :-k

Can we assume you set the valve clearances [-o<
