Maybe, it depends on if your engine is an interference engine.

Will a broken timing belt cause damage on ford 2.0 spi engine?

A lot depends upon when the timing belt broke. If it broke at an idle, valves possibly are OK, If it broke at high engine speed, then bent valves are a strong possibility. All depends upon what manufacturer or model engine it is. Some manufacturers engines rarely bend valves, others almost certainly bend them. Put a new timing belt on and properly time it. Then check compression on all cylinders. If all cylinders have 125 psi or higher, then you are ok.

18 16v xantia petrol timing belt broke will the valves be damaged?

It's highly likely that the valves and piston have touched, as with most modern 16v engines. I'd replace the timing belt, then try turning it over by hand, if that works see if it will start. It is however unlikely to start, so it will then require the cylinder head removing to replace the damaged valves. Check everything in the timing belt area; tensioner, idler, water pump etc, as damage or failure of any of these could have caused the timing belt to break


How do you know if the timing belt went in a 1998 Plymouth neon?

If the timing belt went as in broke/stopped working, I don't think your engine would start. The timing belt controls the camshafts which actuate the intake and exhaust valves. Neons have an interferance engine if the timing belt broke you possibly have bent valves and the engine will spin over very fast and you will have no compression. That's probably not what you want to hear though. Cross your fingers.

Yes, when the belt failed valves may have been open when the piston came up. It is very common for this to happen.
