    Don't know the car specifically, but in 90% of cars, if a timing belt or chain slips, the piston bangs into the valve and bends it. – Captain Kenpachi Oct 30 '13 at 10:15

  • As the answers say, yes. Alternatively I've seen pictures of valves having punched a hole in the piston instead. In any case a significant timing error will cause a collision and engine damage. I can't recall if the K engine there is one of the sensitive ones that "stretch" chains or eat their cam sprockets quickly. – XTL Dec 30 '19 at 11:48
