Not mine , I was doing about 70 when my belt broke . It took me 4 hours and $20 to know for sure boy how aggravating not knowing if my valves were bent or not. The good news is that my Volvo with 345,000 miles fired right up when all work was complete. 24mpg and no payments.
The above answer may be true for that owner but I do not see how it is possible. The 1986 Volvo 740 GLE 4 cylinder is an interference engine and as such if the cam belt breaks you will almost certainly have internal engine damage. The belt should be changed every 50,000 miles.
