usually they bend, the pistons and crank keep going and the cam position of the valve timing changes. if jumps one or two notches they probly won't hit and bend, however of the belt brakes or jumps a lot of teeth they will hidt.;

Sometimes if the timing belt jumps a cog or two at idle the engine will still be OK even on an "interference motor". If, however the belt snaps at highway speeds, it can bend the valves.I hope this helps you. Mark

How do you adjust the timing belt on a 24 valves?
The timing Belt is not adjustable. The adjustment is preset when the belt is installed after that if it is loose it needs to be replaced. If it jumps a tooth you will need motor work as it is am interference motor. Pistons will hi the valves. Very complicated process to replace if you have never done it before it will take about a day and special tools. Go to Team3s web site for the specifics

The marks should be on the timing cover, there should be 4 grooves on the timing cover at the top, 2 on each side, then you align the cam gears with the marks. Make sure the numbers on the gears are in their respective places- 1,2,3,4.
