Default timing belt broke, but tried to start the car, engine okae?

my friend's timing belt broke while going 40mph. He thought it was something else, so he cranked the engine a bunch of times. Do you guys think that damaged the engine at all? Its a h23a btw. thanks

it should be ok but most likely you would have to change the plugs there probably soak in fuel other than that i dont think ill do any damage to your motor

like stated most likely it will be ok, but there could be some damage. after you get a new one on try doing a leakdown test to see if everything is ok.

when we initially started my car a nut fell into the timing cover and got caught in the belt and shredded it , luckily no damage though
