bent valves?

[Mantis88LX]

how do u know if u have a bent valve? i heard that if your timing belt breaks it can bend a valve. my car was idling when the timing belt broke, but that was like 4 months ago. and no problems that i know of yet (except for a hesitation problem which i think is my spark plugs)

you will definitely hear a strange noise depending on how bad bent it is. Idling is the super duper best time to break the timing belt if any cause valves ain't shooting around too fast. A bent valve should also screw up the guide and cause the car to burn oil really bad
