yes it break but it was not running when it did because we was fixing the water pump and had to take it off to get to the water pump and we did all that and was putting it all back togetther together and the timing belt break

Your problem is that now if you move the cams to far in any direction or rotate the crankshaft you will bend a valve, did one of the cams kick when the belt broke? if not i would try fitting a belt on as it sits and turn the engine until the crank is at TDC, then adjust valve timing if required.
