Yes, a broken timing belt on a 1998 Ford Mondeo 1.8 16-valve engine can bend the valves. This engine is classified as an interference engine, meaning that if the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the valves, leading to potential damage. It's important to address any timing belt issues promptly to avoid costly repairs.

Yes ANSWER No - a 1998 3.0 L Ford Ranger does not have a distributor which would allow you to adjust the ignition timing - it has a coil pack and the ignition timing is controlled by the PCM ( powertrain control module )
could cause internal damage to valves and or pistons !
