the timing belt on my 2003 galant broke while i was driving and i had it replaced by the dealer. they said it's possibility for the valves to bend. I had no problems after my timing belt was changed Tony
the ZETEC engine used in the 1999 ZX2 is a non-interference engine. This means that the pistons will not contact the valves when the timing belt breaks. Because of this, the valves will not be bad if the timing belt breaks
it shouldn't but it is a possibility
The valves could be bent.
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
yes
A shop in Port Orchard, WA says yes
Sort of. The valves do not normally hit the pistons if the belt breaks, but the intake valves can hit the exhaust valves if the belt breaks.
It is an interference engine by design so if the timing belt breaks it will be seriously damaged. The valves will be bent and the engine will need repairs costing upwards of $1500
If the valves bent, then yes.

Yes, if the timing belt pops on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant, it can cause the engine's valves to bend. This is because the timing belt synchronizes the movement of the engine's pistons and valves; when it fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves. This damage is particularly likely if the engine is an interference type, which is typical for many vehicles. It's advisable to have the engine inspected immediately if the timing belt fails.
