on some engine designs when the timing slips or is wrong the valve train will hit the pistons.
something has to break, the valves, pistons, or the rods will bend.

What happens if i don't change my timing belt as recommended?
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.
After we changed the timing belt in your 96 ford ranger it will not start you have fuel and fire but no start?
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.
If the timing belt breaks will the piston heads crash with the valves on a 2004 Kia Optima 2.4 dohc?
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 could cause your car to jump timing?
Timing chain or belt is broken
Will timing belt breaking on 1999 Camry cause valve damage?
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.
If timing pulley sheerd off DOHC 2.0 88prelude does this cause valves to hit pistons?
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.
If the timing belt breaks on your 1999 Ford Contour will it cause engine damage?
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.
