did it snap or falll off. you want to put a new belt back one and see is it works?

I guess if you set the crank to TDC then go the cam gear aligned put the belt on you might be able to give it a try. it either will owrk or not ata ll.

IM me if you need help with the belt...

Damn, that sucks.... Ive had this happen to me before, and it will not be cheap. Be prepared for bent valves. If your motor was running above idle speed at the time, chances are you bent more than a few valves. It would probably be cheaper just to get a new head. If you have access to a machine shop, you can fix your valves; which may not be a good idea depending how many are actually bent. Theres a SLIGHT chance everything is OK and all you need is a timing belt.. but it really depends how you handled the situation. If you shut down the engine quickly you might have a better chances, if you ran the motor.... good luck..

You will more than likely have a couple bent valves. replace the belt, and water pump while your at it, and start her up. Depending on how many valves are bent it should run alright, but TICK like a ****.
