Default broken timing belt, thought it was something else and tried to push start the car. Did I screw it up

if the valves weren't already messed up could push starting it mess it up?

It's possible, but being that you broke the belt, most likely the valves are already kaput. I broke my timing belt a few weeks ago. 14 valves were damaged. $470 to have the head repaired. Good luck.

What motor?

What RPM were you turning when you "broke" the timing belt?

What kind of sound did you hear? Nothing or a can of marbles?

might wanna get your head checked, with no timing belt, you valves are in real risk of being hit 1-of-4 the pistons and bending them due to the cams not turning? Dont quote me on that but that was my observation replacing valves on my friends JDM b16 which broke is timing belt doing 30MPH with low RPMs
