If the timing belt broke in a 2000 Mazda Protege 1.8 will the car be damaged?

A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.

If the engine is an interference design then valve or head damage will occur. Replace the belt, check compression. If compression is bad then it's probably a good indicator that the engine has been damaged.
