Yes, the engine in the 2002 Kia is and Interference fit engine. Meaning if the belt breaks there is a possibility of valve, piston damage. The 2.4L, 4 cylinder and the 2.5L, 2.7L v6 are all Interference type engines. Sorry, The engine is not ruined but may have some damage that may be costly to repair.
