You're setting valve lash here. It shouldn't make any difference what mark it's on. You want the valve to close completely when the rocker comes up. With no more movement after that. Once you get one valve set, roll the engine over half way and set the other one.
Set valve lash on both valves with piston at top dead center, the T mark lined up with the mark. Valves should be set at .02 for that model. You do not have to roll the engine through to set the valves. but it is a good idea to roll it through 360 degrees after setting is complete and recheck the settings
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
Yes, if the timing belt breaks on a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, it can cause the engine's valves to bend. This vehicle has an interference engine, meaning that the pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times. 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.
The timing belt goes and the valves bend.
No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
If the valves bent, then yes.

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
Bad timing/valves/rockers/timing chain
Valves can be adjusted via the rocker arms, under the rocker arm cover. Remove this via the service manual, and they should be adjusted to give a small clearance, appx .02 inches. Timing is a different story, if it is your valve timing, you need to locate the timing belt or chain adjuster, and get a timing light. Sync the timing light to the timing mark on the belt or chain via the adjustment mechanism.
The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.
your timing can not be right
Timing marks are not lined up correctly.
