Any time a timing belt breaks, there is a potential for engine damage. If it breaks, and you try to start the car, the pistons could shove up into the valves bending them and damaging your pistons. Even if the car was moving at a high rate of speed when it broke, you could also have the same result.But in some cases you could just put on a new belt and be fine. Well good luck and I hope this answered your question.
