worst case bent or broke valves, scared cylinder walls, chipped cracked or broken piston surfaces in other words very costly best case nothing
If your timing belt were to break while the engine is operating, the camshafts would be out of time with the crankshaft. This 'out of time' would cause the valves to open at incorrect times in regard to the crankshaft/pistons. This break in the timing belt could cause valves to bend or break as well as damage the head itself; pistons could also become damaged in the process.
If it is getting fuel and fire timing must be off check your repair manuel on correct time setting marks. Trying to start a engine out of time could cause major damage. Because the valves and piston have to work in sequence. Improper time setting could cause valves and piston to hit together.
The failure of the 2004 Kia 2.4 liter timing belt can cause severe damage to the piston heads and the valves. The timing belt failure can ruin the engine.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
No. A worn timing chain or belt would cause timing to jump.
Replacing the timing belt on an Interference engine, and doing it wrong, can cause serious problems. Busted piston, bent valve, cracked head, are a few.
if the timing belt breaks then yes it will throw the timing off.
Timing chain or belt is broken
No, the '99 Toyota Camry has a non-interference engine, where the piston and valve path do not interfere with each other. The timing belt breaking will cause your car to stop working, but will not cause valve damage.
Not a for sure thing, but it's very possible. The opening and closing of the valves needs to be timed correctly, otherwise they could be open when the piston reached the top and damage could result.
most snapped timing belts will in most cases cause engine damage,the only exception would be a freewheeling engine were valve to piston contact would be minimal an interference type engine would cause damage.
