What are the chances?

Someone please give me a glimmer of hope...
I swapped the intake camshaft in my 85 16V, and it seems life got in the way, and the bolt holding on the chain sprocket was not tightened. Engine started, ran and drove for a few hundred feet before it just stopped. I should have stopped earlier as it was making some noise (which sounded like lifter tap).
Upon inspection, the sprocket never came off and the chain remained tight, the cog's key slot was ruined though. I removed the cams and with a rubber hose blasted compressed air through the spark plug hole, learning to my surprise that they held pressure (enough that the piston was pushed down its hole).
what are the chances?? did it miraculously not bend the valves? Ive just completed installing a 9000 FMIC, and many, many other mods...I want to drive it, not tear it back down again.
I would put it back together and do a compression test, however I need a cam sprocket first, and it seems the ones off my 2.3 head are 'deeper'...anyone heard of this?
