yes, if the timing belt breaks the pistons can hit the valves causeing the valves to bend, or causeing a hole in the piston(s) eather way the engine would need to be completely rebuilt. the same damage could be caused by trying to start the engine without the timing belt intact,

IF On the 94 ford escort 1.9l when the timing belt goes bad does the valves get bent?
This is a non-interference engine. If the belt breaks you will be stranded but no damage will occur. Replace the belt every 60,000 miles. The cam belt drives the water pump, so I suggest you also replace the water pump at the same time you replace the belt, to avoid future labor costs when the pump goes bad, which it will.
Ford Focus timing belt replacement?
The manufacturer's handbook states that the timing belt and tensioner should be replaced at 100,000 miles but many mechanics say it is safer to change timing belt at 45,000 or 50,000 miles. If timing belt fails it can cause serious engine damage so it's better to be safe than sorry. An average timing belt with water pump and labor is around $600.00. The Focus has an interference engine which means if the timing belt goes, the engine needs to be replaced.
