no the valvesn will not be damaged this is not a intefearance motor
Only if the valves come in contact with the pistons,I would replace the belt and check the compression in the cylinders,The engine will miss if there is a bent valve.I have had to replace the timing belt on my wifes car a couple of times with no engine damage after it broke.
A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
Yeah, you've definitely broken more than just the belt. Probably bent a few valves at the least. Sorry!
No. My 87 Tercel Wagon timing belt broke last year and the valves were not damaged. 3A and 3AC engines are non-interference.
If the timing belt breaks on any engine the damage to the engine is usually very bad.
Maybe, it depends on if your engine is an interference engine.
If the engine is an interference design then valve or head damage will occur. Replace the belt, check compression. If compression is bad then it's probably a good indicator that the engine has been damaged.
Yes
No, the engine will not run with a broken cam belt.
If the timing belt broke on an interference engine, the open valves and pistons would collide and wreck the engine.
