If timing chain in a 4.3 liter Chevy engine broke will valves be damaged?

The 4.3 Chevy is a non-interference engine.
This means the valves cannot hit the piston unless either the connecting rod or valve retainers break. This is highly unlikely if the chain is only broken due weakness or fatigue.

Is Chevy's 350 cubic inch engine freewheeling?
As I understand it, a freewheeling engine, such as the 2.3 liter Ford is an overhead cam engine that will not crash the valves if the timing belt breaks. A 350 Chevy uses a timing chain since the cam is in the block. If the timing chain breaks on that, you're out of luck.

Is a 99 Chevy Tracker 2.0 a non interference motor?
Yes it is. Mine bent 6 valves. When the upper timing chain guide broke and chewed up the rest of the guides and gears. If the valves were bent than the engine is an INTERFERENCE ENGINE. A non interference engine has clearance between the valves and the cylinder head so if the timing belt lets go and the valves are in the intake or exhaust position they would clear the cylinder heads causing no damage to either. So the answer to your question is NO the engine is not an non interference engine
How do you set timing on 3.4 liter Chevy engine after the timing belt has broke?
Assuming you're talking about the TDC (dohc) motor. Unless you are Very familier with this engine I would'nt advise you to try setting it on your own. The 3.4L dohc or TDC engine requires very precise cam timming. There is only a .010 inch valve clearance between the valves and piston. In most cases, when the timing belt breaks on these engines the piston strikes the valves. These engines have sodium filled valves and are easily damaged. You should consider having a compression test done before even attempting to install a new timing belt. Which also should be installed by a qualified technition. The timing marks are "painted" on @ the factory and probably are no loner visible.
