THE factor that determines whether anything will be broken is luck. Specifically, it is possible for the cam(s) to come to rest in such a position that none of the valves are sufficiently open for the pistons to hit them. In such a case, no damage would be done. Of course, if you just want to put on a timing belt to get the engine running for the time being, you might try doing a leak down test. This will tell you if you have bent valves. And it can spare you the expense of buying a new belt for a bad motor.

my sister blew the belt on a SOHC ZC - started right up with a new belt.
