A lot depends upon when the timing belt broke. If it broke at an idle, valves possibly are OK, If it broke at high engine speed, then bent valves are a strong possibility. All depends upon what manufacturer or model engine it is. Some manufacturers engines rarely bend valves, others almost certainly bend them. Put a new timing belt on and properly time it. Then check compression on all cylinders. If all cylinders have 125 psi or higher, then you are ok.

Will a broken timing belt cause engine damage in an 3100 sfi motor?
No, it is a non-interference motor
Will engine turn with timing belt broken?
The engine will turn on the starter, or with a wrench on the end of the crankshaft. However it will not run. If the Timing belt breaks, when the engine is running, this can cause extensive damage to the engine.
On a 1999 SW2 Saturn what kind of symptoms would I see if the timing chain needed replacing?
A timing chain, that needs to be replaced, can cause your engine to run rough and lose power. A broken timing chain can cause significant engine damage.
2002 echo broken timing chain does it damage engine?
Your car has the 1NZ-FE engine featuring VVT-i (variable valve timing with intelligence). This is a non-interference engine, with a timing chain. While a broken chain could cause damage to your engine, it is less likely to cause damage on a non-interference engine, and if the chain is damaged (but not completely snapped) you will often know it because it will make a lot of noise (stop driving it at that point and get the chain replaced). The chain is generally considered good for 250,000 miles unless it begins making noise.
If the timing belt breaks on your 1999 Ford Contour will it cause engine damage?
most snapped timing belts will in most cases cause engine damage,the only exception would be a freewheeling engine were valve to piston contact would be minimal an interference type engine would cause damage.
What damage to engine when a timing belt fails?
On an interference engine the pistons can hit the valves. That will cause severe internal engine damage.
How does the timing belt affect a civic's performance?
A belt that has jumped a tooth will cause the engine to be out of time. This will adversely effect performance and mileage. A broken belt will cause engine damage as this is an interference engine. Replace the belt every 80,000 miles at a minimum.
Does a 2003 ford escape have a timing belt or a chain?
The 2003 escape has a timing belt - but it is not the sort of belt that can cause havoc and internal damage to the engine if it breaks. If it breaks, the engine simply won't run until you replace the broken belt - but the engine won't slam into itself - as it were.
Will a broken timing chain damage the engine?
If the timing chain breaks while the engine is running, this can cause the pistons to collide with the valves with disastrous consequences. This will often damage the engine beyond repair. Since this is the case, many newer car engines are designed to mitigate this. This includes most cars made since the early 1990's.
What other issues does broken timing belt on 1990 525i cause?
This is an interference engine, There is a very good chance that some valves are bent. Theres also the posibillity of piston damage.
Will having the timing off make a 3vze overheat?
wrong timing can cause any engine to over heat. in fact if the timing is off it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.
What happens if timing belt breaks on vw sharan 2.0 petrol?
