Can the valves on a 1995 Ford Ranger bend if the timing belt breaks?

Yes, the valves can bend, or even damage or crack the piston. Reason is: when the cam stops rotating due to the broken timing belt the valves no longer go up and down but remain in one position (either up or down), but the crankshaft-driven pistons keep moving up and down, making hard contact with the valves, and thus the damage.

Hi, I thought it's attached to the side of the distributor. I may be wrong but I think that's where it is. I have a '94 with the 3.8 because I've considered buying the high performance one bout it's about $55.00 so I don't know, I haven't decided yet because it's still a bit too cold for doing most outside work here in MA.If I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks Steve H.
Bolts for water pump 1995 jeep grand Cherokee v8 where do the long bolts go?
There are 7 bolts going into the water pump, 4 long and 3 short. The short bolts will go into the 12:00, 5:00, and 7:00 O'clock positions. Look for those 3 (short bolt) positions to have the timing chain cover threaded. The timing chain cover for the 4 long bolts will be smooth. Glad I could help.

What happens if a 1995 Honda Civic ex timing belts breaks?
Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.
