As far as timing belts are concerned there are two sorts of engine, the interference engine which is likely to suffer damage and the non-interference engine which is quite safe. The latter type is rare and almost exclusively the earlier designs of timing belt engines.

The type and degree of damage varies somewhat depending on the design of the engine. In nearly all cases the cylinder head must be removed and at least a few valves replaced.
I believe almost the worst was writing off a cylinder head and the camshaft was broken into five pieces. The worst was where a valve head broke off and rattled around enough to write off the cylinder head and badly score the bore before dropping through a hole in the piston only to rattle around in the bottom and then arrive back in the top of the engine through a different piston.

My 2015 nissan np200 1.6 8valve broke cambelt will my valves also be bent

If the timing belt snaps, they run into each other, causing bent valves (most common), cylinder head or camshaft damage, and possibly piston and cylinder wall damage. ... In a non-interference engine, the pistons and valves don't occupy the same space, so if the timing belt snaps, no valve or cylinder damage occurs.
nissan are all Interference engines

How do i do valve timing from scretch after timing belt broke on a volvo t5,2.3l s60

If the belt broke while the motor was running, the motor is likely badly damaged since, I believe, the five cylinder Volvo engines are "interference engines". The crankshaft and pistons keep moving while the car is in gear and still moving, but the valves stop dead the instant the timing belt breaks. The pistons would have hit some of the valves, cracking or badly damaging the cylinder head and some pistons. If the motor is not damaged internally, though, just line up the timing marks on the cam shaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket and put on a new belt. Go online for a diagram of how to align the timing marks.

If my timing belt broke while trying to start my 2006 galant but it never cranked over is my motor damaged ?

Yes -- the motor is identified as an interference engine and that means in the event of belt failure there will be damaged valves from hitting the pistons. IT is a matter of removing the head and replacing the bent valves . There should be not other damage to the engine . The job in an accredited shop will be around $1000 dollars which should include valves -head gasket kit-new belt- idlers -hydraulic tensioner and cam and crank seals and labour

1995 toyota camry If timing belt broke while I was driving what damage was caused?

Whether 4-cyl or V6 there should not have been any, as these are non-interference engines, that is, the pistons do not hit the valves when timing fails. The engine just stops.

CAR STALLED. DISCOVERED TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN. REPLACED BELT. STILL WILL NOT START BUT WILL TURN OVER

It sounds like the timing is still off, which will not allow it to start, or you have a faulty cam, or crank sensor.

Will the valves will connect with the piston if the timing belt broke?

I'm assuming you meant if the timing belt broke would the pistons hit your valves? 2 parts to this, #1 if your belt just broke you should be fine, #2 if your belt skipped time significantly (highly improbable) only then would your internal components have a chance of hitting each other from components trying to open and close at improper times. This could damage both intake/exhaust valves, other valve train components and even damage the head of your pistons.

Timing belt is broken. Interference or non interference motor?

Most Ford vehicles from 1985 and up have enough valve clearence so the valves do not get hit when the timing belt snaps. Since I worked for ford for many years I have only seen one with valve damage and the youg man said he was driving his car really hard at high RPM's. I believe you will be okay on your engine as long as when the belt broke the engine was not at high rpm's. If know one has told you those engine recommend a timing belt replacement every 60k. I hpe this helped and I hope this fixes your problem. Good luck, Roger

Bronken Timing belt. Could this have damaged other things in car

If you 2000 Dodge Stratus is equipped with either the 2.0 Liter (SOHC) 4 cylinder engine or the 2.5 Liter (SOHC) V6 then you have serious engine damage. Both these engines are interference engines. When the belt breaks the pistons will make contact with the valves thus causing damage. The belt on the 4 cylinder should have been replaced at 100,000 miles. The belt on the V6 should have been replaced at 60,00 miles. At 60 mph you for sure are going to have some damage. How much damage, you will know when they open it up.
