The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.

Call your local Nissan dealer Service Dept. and ask them if your engine is non-interferance or interferance. If it is interferance, broken timing belt could mess up your valves, pistons and related parts. Best thing to do is replace your timinng belt before it snaps.
Do valves hit pistons on BMW 328iif the timingchain snaps will it bend the valves?
Yes of course it will, you will have had no valve control and they would slap around and bend some if not all of them and even damage the pistons from contact. a "timing chain snapping" on an interfirence engien such as a 6 cylinder bmw is a disaster. some of the engine may be usable but i wouldn't hold my breath.

Do the valves clear the pistons if the timing belt jumps on a 1998 ford contour 4-cylinder?
Sometimes if the timing belt jumps a cog or two at idle the engine will still be OK even on an "interference motor". If, however the belt snaps at highway speeds, it can bend the valves.I hope this helps you. Mark
