?If a timing belt or chain breaks while the engine is running the engine will be severely damaged and some of the valves will probably bend and damage the pistons. A timing best needs to be replaced BEFORE it reaches the end of its life and breaks. Car manuals make this clear.

Will a broken timing belt cause engine damage on 1999 geo tracker 4 cylinders?
In short, yes. The timing belt turn the cam-shaft which controls the timing of the opening and closing of the valves in the cylinder head. When a timing belt/chain breaks (usually at high RPM) valves can remain open where they can come in contact with the pistons and be bent by the pistons that are still moving with great force at high speed. Simply replacing the timing belt will not fix the engine if the valves are bent. You can get the valve train re-machined, but an easier (though not cheap) fix is to replace the whole cylinder head.
