You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.
Yes it is. I know this by experience. Timing jumped and bent the valves
do a compression check on each cyl.
Check engine light, low power, no start, runs rough, bent valves,Check engine light, low power, no start, runs rough, bent valves,
The valves can be bent when the timing belt breaks.
Intake valves and exhaust valves can hit each other. Bent valves mean major repair.
Unfortunately yes. The Saturn motor is considered an Interference motor. When the chain breaks the neutral landing position of the camshafts will allow valves to be open, as the engine slows down from its rotating mass it will bend these open valves.
If you are worried about bent valves DON'T That year engine will not bend the valves when the timing chain goes bad.
Replace the bent valves with new ones. Several places carry them. Be prepared it is a very in depth job. Be sure to check the pistons to make sure they aren't too damaged from the valves coming into contact with them.
it did in mine it bent 2 valves and i end it up replacing the head on it

Remove the spark plugs and check the compression in the cylinders, low to no compression will indicate a bent or stuck valve
