Just taking a guess........Loose chain.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?

if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
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.
on some engine designs when the timing slips or is wrong the valve train will hit the pistons. something has to break, the valves, pistons, or the rods will bend.
we step on them everyday and roots are so strong that they break apart the rocks
The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
The breaking apart of the nucleus of an atom is called nuclear fusion.
the first question is what caused the hole? did the timing chain break and hit the cover, second is it a 2.4 liter engine?
timing off,base timing not set,dist. not set in right position, timing belt about to break, low fuel pressure,burnt valves,leaking head gasket.need more symptoms.
If your timing is off, it's most likely because of the timing belt. I had this problem when I changed my timing belt and took my car apart over 10 times. You have to be dead-on precise when fitting the timing belt. If you are off one notch your timing will be off. It's that precise.
No. A worn timing chain or belt would cause timing to jump.
