What happens when a timing belt jumps time on a 98 kia sportage?

since it is an interference engine, alot can be damaged, really depends on how much it jumped,if say one tooth you probably ok to just replace timing belt. If say the belt jumped 25 teeth or belt broke, then possible major damaged could result like valves bent, piston damaged, overhead cams damaged. now if your asking in theory what happens then this is what happens: the relationship between dual cams ( camshafts ) and crankshaft timing goes off to the point where the relationship between them is wrong to not let the engine physically turn correctly,( causing mechanical damage ), and electronically off for engine firing position ,cam sensor, spark plug firing timing and order. Either way it is not pretty !
