Marcy1708, To answer your question, Yes it is possible. You don't state here why the timing belt was being replace. Is this for regular scheduled maintenance or did the timing belt break and need to be replaced? If the belt broke then it is possibe that a few valves got bent from the pistons hitting them. This happens on what is call an interference engine. What happens is, when the belt breaks some of the valves stay in the open position and the travel of the piston will hit and bend them. A good way of testing this is to do a cylinder compression test after the timing belt is put back on. The pressure in each cylinder should be within 10 percent of each other. If you have one or more cylinders that have no pressure then the valve are bent and will not close. The cylinder heads can be replaced but unfortunately the pistons in the affected cylinders may have to be replaced as well. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if the valves are bent then the engine needs to be replaced. If the cylinder compression test comes out good then you will have to make sure that the timing marks are lined up properly and go from there. Good luck with this.
Yes the belt broke out of no where when i was going up a hill, so we put the timing belt on and it started but the only way to keep it running was to hold the gas pedal down but it back fired and didnt sound right.. so we tried again and it still the same.
marcy1708, By your discriptionof how the motor reacted tells me that there is a chance that the motor isn't blown. Try and reset the belt once again making sure that the number one cylinder is at TDC (Top dead center) and you timing marks are all lined up properly. When you have the belt put back into position, manually turn the engine crankshaft two complete turns until it returns to the original timing mark and see if all your timing marks are still OK. If they are off them you have to start over, but if they all return to being lined up properly then the belt is on properly and you can go from there. If it still run rough and backfires then the valves are most likely bent. Good luck with this.
