Yes.
Yes...Well it is an interference engine, not zero clearance. Which means when the timing belt breaks the pistons with "interfere" with the valves.
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
the ZETEC engine used in the 1999 ZX2 is a non-interference engine. This means that the pistons will not contact the valves when the timing belt breaks. Because of this, the valves will not be bad if the timing belt breaks
No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
If the valves bent, then yes.

Yes, if the valve timing is off, it can lead to valve contact with the piston, potentially causing the valves to bend. This misalignment typically occurs in interference engines, where the clearance between the piston and valves is minimal. If the timing chain or belt slips or breaks, it can result in serious engine damage, including bent valves. Regular maintenance ensures the timing system remains properly aligned to prevent such issues.
Parts like, valves/pistons/etc are no longer synchronized when a timing belt breaks. Often belts will stretch to merely "jump time" so parts no longer have the clearance necessary for safe movement.
If the timing belt breaks, the valves get bent immediately.
Normally no.
yes
Yes, it can.
