The piston is hitting spark plug on 4 cylinder can the 1.3 samurai engine jump time?

Since the samaurai uses a timing belt it can jump but not in this case. Jumping time would not make it hit the spark plug it would come very close to the valves and hit those before it hit the spark plug. You may have a problem either with the piston rist pin or with the piston rod cap coming loose. Hope this helps
To rephrase the question:
If a piston in a 4 cylinder 1.3 samurai engine hits a spark plug could it cause the timing belt to jump time?
If the rotating mass of the cam and valves versus the crankshaft has enough kinetic energy to overrun the timing belt, then yes, it is possible. It does seem very unlikely fundamentally because the mass of the piston would either flatten the spark plug or the piston would dent and if forced too far by the spark plug it would fail catastrophically and would have metal failure such as holes or cracks.
In other words, it depends on how many RPM's the engine was running at, when it hit the spark plug.
