Will a broken timing belt on a ford escort zx2 damage the engine?

A broken timing belt on a Ford ZX2 will not damage the engine. The 2.0 ZETEC engine used in the ZX2 is a non-interference engine which means the pistons will not come into contact with the valves should the belt break. Because of this the valves will not be damaged and no engine damage will occur.


What is valves on cars?

Valves control the in-flow and out-flow of fuel, air and exhaust fumes in a combustion engine (known as intake valves and exhaust valves). A 4-cylinder engine with 16 valves will have 4 valves per cylinder, with two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder. With experience it is easy to tell the sounds of the valves apart because each engine sounds different with different valves. Generally the less number of valves means a deeper/throatier sound from the cars and vice-versa

If your engine has a timing belt and is an interference engine you can bend valves and cause a bunch of damage.

Please note that if you were driving at a high rpm when belt jumped you could still have damaged valves even if its not an interference engine
