Will a broken timing belt bend the valves on SC400?

The SC400, being an interference engine, will indeed bend its valves in the event of a timing belt failure. With the timing belt no longer in control of valve operation, the valves can collide with the pistons, causing costly damage to the engine. Therefore, it is essential to adhere to the recommended timing belt replacement intervals specified in the owner's manual to avoid this issue. Ignoring these maintenance guidelines could lead to the potential bending or damage of the engine's valves.
