Timing belt broke...what else?

[JayB98GST]

ok while I was driving at about 25 mph my timing belt B broke, the main timing belt is fine except that it might have jumped a tooth or two because the camshaft sprockets line up perfectly but the crankshaft sprocket and the oil pump sprocket are off a couple teeth. If I replace the broken belt and realign the main belt, would my car run or is it possible that I have bent valves or something?

If the main cam/crank belt only jumped a tooth you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about it. Don't start it, but does the car still run? If not you might have bent valves, but I guess it just depends on what happened. Best of luck!

No, the car wouldnt even try to start, it just cranked

Realign the T-Belt and do a quick compression test before you put everything back together. If any of the cylinders have zero compression then you bent valves.

What may have happened is when the balnce belt snapped, it took out the crank sensor with it, which would stop the car from starting. Test the crank sensor while you have everything out.

the crank sensor is fine, i had a spare one that i tried before i took apart everything

theres a pretty good chance that your bent em, reset the timeing and do a compression test.. my dsm was just idleing when mine went and it took valves with it... so mabey you got lucky who knows.
