Yes, if the timing belt breaks on a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, it can cause the engine's valves to bend.

When the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves, leading to potential damage. It's important to address timing belt replacements at recommended intervals to prevent such issues.
