Usually it is just the valves that get ruined.. pistons marked but should be okay... Once assembled correctly, and your valves are good, you should be good to go..
PS.. with timing belt(s) off, you can only rotate the cam(s) freely without danger of hitting the pistons if the pistons are not at TDC (backoff 90 degrees on the crank)... set the cam(s) where you want them (on the correct outward mark), now bring the pistons back up where they belong by forward 90 degrees with the crank (to T1 timing mark)
