Timing Belt Damage

[jaguar2009]

Hi, the timing belt is break in my Toyota Camry 1998. My question is: Are the valve damage?
Or The Toyota Camry have a system to protect this?


Ok, but I tried to Power in 3 times, what´s up if tried to power on the car?

Both engines for the 1998 camry (the 1mz-fe V6 and the 5s-fe I4) are not interference engines. There should be no damage to the valve-train when a timing belt fails.

Just wanted to add; if you go to a mechanic, and they say there is valve damage after looking at the car, take your money (and car of course) and run before they do.
