What happens if a 1995 Honda Civic ex timing belts breaks?
Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.

Can the valves on a 1995 Ford Ranger bend if the timing belt breaks?
Yes, the valves can bend, or even damage or crack the piston. Reason is: when the cam stops rotating due to the broken timing belt the valves no longer go up and down but remain in one position (either up or down), but the crankshaft-driven pistons keep moving up and down, making hard contact with the valves, and thus the damage.

What are likely damages after timing belt snaps for 1995 model Mitsubishi pajero 3000?
I'm assuming petrol. Last one l did had snapped valves which needed to be replaced. There were also scrapes on the top of the pistons but that was ok as piston crowns hit dropped valves. Used the original head but l had it crack tested to make sure there was no more damage to it.
