Best Answer

A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.

What happens if a 1995 Honda Civic ex timing belts breaks?

Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.
