Monterey Bay Monterey Bay Aquarium Though it's an ever-popular tourist destination, there's more to the Monterey Peninsula than a cool aquarium and an epic golf course.
First of all if the timing belt  breaks it can hurt the engine. A value can be open when it should  closed and it can be hit by the piston. â¦ The serpentine belt  breaking and wrapping around the crank shaft is HIGHLY unlikely to  cause the timing belt to break. The crank shaft supplies the pull  and push to the timing belt not the cam shaft. You would have to  cause the crank to stop immediately to have any chance of it  breaking the timing belt.
If your belt breaks on a motor like this the piston will travel up and hit the valve and could cause serious damage to the valve, the head and/or the camshaft. This could mean buying a head for your motor. There are pictures of Porsche motors that blew the valve right through the valve cover when the timing belt broke.
