ONEtime I bought an off brand timing kit (eBay) and got roughly 6000 miles before that happened to ME. Bent valves and time and tow, it was a learning lesson to be sure. NO MORE OFF BRAND BELTS! Gates only forever.

Re: cheap timing belt = this
Its done now, nothing to do but assess the damage and move forward. Did the belt break under load or while idling?
Pull the head and have the valves and guides checked. Inspect the block for damage to the sleeves. If you're lucky only the valves took the hit. The block could be damaged hopefully a re-hone will fix. Just take it one step a time.

Re: cheap timing belt = this
I have a semi related question. I replaced belt and tensioner with OEM 5 years ago, but have only done 11,000 km (about 7,000 miles) since then. So when should I replace again?
