My mazda pick-upbroke the timing belt. It's a 2.2, manual trans.I'm wodering if these are the kinds of engines that the valves bend and mess up, or is replacing the timing belt just good enough.

Put the engine's no.1 piston on its compression stroke/TDC and line the timing marks then put the belt on. No check for resistance by turning the crankshaft pulley 720degs.
