If the timing belt broke in a 2000 Mazda Protege 1.8 will the car be damaged?

A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.

Most mfg. suggest to change it at 60k miles. Since your car has over 90k , Isuggest you change it as soon as possible, My 1989 car broke the belt and it bent valves and damaged head and pistons. Changing the belt is not expensive,

If the timing belt broke in a 1994 Mazda protege 1.8 sohc do the pistons hit the valves?
They can. The only way to know for certain is to put a new belt on and run a compression test. If one or more cylinders don't build compression after you've properly installed a new timing belt, the piston kissed a valve. BTW, it doesn't take much to bend a valve beyond being usable.
