True, the engines are low tolerance engines which means that there is no room for the pistons and valves in the cylinder walls at the same time. When the pistons are TDC and the valves are open, they will hit causing damage to the valves and pistons.
Be more cost efficient to replace the whole engine, rather then just the valve train redone. Chances are the the pistons will have some type of damage and it will not just be one piston that will need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Fixya and sorry for the bad news

I have purchased rebuilt - ready to go heads off of EBay for $400. Be sure and replace the water pump and both pulleys that are on the timing belt circuit. The belt generally breaks as a result of one of those pulleys or the water pump failing.

Not replace the Cylinder head just the valves get a mechanic to help with this each valve will cost about 8$ and a machine shop will go for about 100$ and what ever your mechanic is going to cost you

If it is an interference engine, then yes you do.

How good a mechanic are you? Do you have the tools?
When you crank it, does it sem to spin real free with no wump wump sound? Then it's likely busted timing belt.
The 2.4 Liter engine is an interference motor, meaning if the timing belt breaks, the intake and or the exhaust valves in the engine hit the top of the piston and damage the valves. When this happens the valves are bent enough that they will not close tight and the engine will not start,, now it may sound like it wants to start because there maybe only a few valves that are bent, and in the cylinders that have the bent valves there is no compression, but in the other cylinders the valves are working normal and these cylinders may try to start like normal. The only trouble is the only way to correct this problem is to remove the cylinder head and have a machine shop inspect cylinder head and replace the valves that are damaged. The top of the pistons that are hit by the valves should also be inspected as pistons maybe damaged as well. You can verify a no compression condition by removing spark plugs and with a compression gauge, check the compression of each cylinder, the ones with no compression more than likely will be the ones that have the bent valve problem, on most four cylinder engines there will be two cylinders without compression, the other two cylinders may have a normal compression reading.

TCar stopped dead .....timing belt broke on 2002dodge

Sorry for this bad news but if the timing belt broke or jumped then you will need to pull heads due to bent valves.
When the timing belt breaks it leaves valves open or throws the timing off which causes the pistons to come up and hit and bend valves,
the only way to know how much valve damage and to repair is to remove the cylinder head or heads and see.

I was driving my 1991 honda accord an timing belt broke iam woorried that it might have damaged engine what should i look for i was going to replace belt an try to get back running any advice thanks

Honda engines are what they call interference engines. This means when a timing belt breaks, the pistons hit the valves and bend them. You will need to remove the cylinder head and get the bent valves replaced if you want it to run correctly. Impossible to know how many valves are bent, depends on how fast the engine was turning when the belt broke.

Timing Belt broke. I replaced brlts. Now i have no power, and doesn't shift right.

When the timing belt breaks, it's very common that one or more of the valves that were open at the time were struck by a piston and got bent. This being the case, one or more of the cylinders is now failing to compress because the bent valve(s) are not sealing as they should when they close (or indeed, they may be jammed permanently part open). You need to get a compression check on the cylinders. This is likely to result in a need to remove the cylinder head and replace and re-grind several valves. Hopefully the pistons will not be damaged (They usually survive).

Ford Focus - 12 years old, broke timing belt. The garage is saying I need a complete new cylinder head. I suspected it was the timing belt and expected several bent valves at worst. My question is...

Here at my repair shop have never had to replace a cylinder head, due to timing belt failure, just replace bent valve's and machine head.

Timing belt broke

Honda accord 2.2L and 2.7L engine's are interference engine's, which if timing belt breaks it will bent cylinder head valve's, cylinder head will have to come out to replace bent valve's, also your water pump is timing belt driven not bad idea to also replace while in there, good luck, hope this was very helpful.

Timing Belt broke while driving my 96 Toyota Rav4, 2 wheel drive. Mechanic said that Rav has a zero tolerance engine and engine will need to be replaced. The timing belt has 55,000 miles on it and we were...

Zero tolerance means the valves may have hit the piston when the timing belt broke. I would suggest doing a cylinder leakage test to see if the valves are bent or not. If the valves are not bent then you can replace the belt and everything will be ok. If there are bent valves then the cylinder heads will need to be removed and repaired.
