Back to OP.
To make the call on, bent valve. Requires borescope. Ask for the pictures.
To make call belt/engine is correctly time at this time (second shop). Requires peeking under cam belt covers. Ask for the pictures, showing marks line up.
We're not given data, needed to make a good call here. For all we know the engine is fine. It may just be a simple misfire unrelated to valves, piston or connecting rod.
So just tell your friend, to budget in engine replacement.
