Best Answer

If your timing belt were to break while the engine is operating, the camshafts would be out of time with the crankshaft. This 'out of time' would cause the valves to open at incorrect times in regard to the crankshaft/pistons.

This break in the timing belt could cause valves to bend or break as well as damage the head itself; pistons could also become damaged in the process.
