If you moved the crankshaft gently around and felt the obstruction, you'll probably be OK but If you swung the motor forward and back with vigour, then you'd be better off checking the valve s before you continue.....

Let's assume I have already bent a valve or two (or three or four...); how will I know when I try to start her up?

If you already have everything assembled run a compression check before buttoning up the top end. Bent valve = little or no compression.
