Default 94 turbo cylinder head interchange

I'm looking at a 94 turbo that has bent exhaust valves from a broken timing belt. From what I can tell the belt went and they just got it replaced without checking the head and then realized there's damage. The junkyard near me has a few non turbo 850s as well as a low pressure turbo 99 s70. Are either of these suitable to pull either the exhaust valves or the whole head to use on the 94 or do I need valves from a turbo 850? Thanks in advance guys.

Pretty sure the exhaust valves are the same across those models but why would you just not buy new valves to begin with or shop for a replacement head from a 94-97 850 turbo?

FCP Euro sells Osvat replacement valves at $12 per. You still need to properly lap the valves in, and in my mind doing that with new valves will ensure a better fit or you may risk a burnt valve prematurely.

If you want to find a replacement head, you can search most yards using car-parts.com

I was under the impression that the turbo had sodium filled exhaust valves. Even if they were the same though, the point is valid...why waste the time to pull a used valve?

I just figured I'd be better off with a whole spare head to work with. Like I said they replaced the belt after a break and only noticed a problem after firing it back up so there may be more than just the bent valves. I had no idea I could buy individual valves so thanks mt6127 that's why I came here and asked.
