Message engine. I know one tooth off will make a difference between compression test readings. You might be ok in your current condition but running it anymore increases the change for damage. If it was my engine I would get everything back in sync (time) Once engine is timed I would perform a leak down test to see if any of the valves were damaged. Also if you have access to an inspection camera to peep into the spark plug holes to inspect for damage pistons, valves, and/or valve seats. If all of this test results is ok I would follow it up by manually rotating the crankshaft to see if there was any interference. If all is good then maybe you are safe and can concentrate on why the belt slipped in the first place. My disclaimer is that I am not a Z expert like many on here but that is how I would proceed. Hope it helps and good luck going forward. I will monitor for an expert to chime in! Cheers
