Anyone have suggest help me out.

My brother told me the engine was rebuilt about 6-8 months ago.

do you think is the balance shaft belt or not????

I have question here if installed the timing belt or balance shaft belt and I forgot to line up the mark. do you think the car will start up or not?

 

First of all if the timing belt was broken and the car was running when this happened you have bent valves this is a interference motor the valves stop moving and the piston comes up and smacks them. I would do a compression test just to make sure it is holding compression.

 

I agree, do a compression test in all 4 cylinders. I'm sure you have some bent valves (hopefully you didn't crack any of your pistons). However, on the bright side, since you're going to have to remove your head, you'll might want to think about doing a 2G Turbo head swap and wake up that 2.4L motor.

 

what happen if there no compression. how should i fixed that problem.

 

If there is no compression then hope it didn't do a lot of damage you will have to pull the head and have the valves that are bent replace and if needed head resurfaced. also if this is the case you need to look at the pistons to make sure there is not a lot of damage to them as well if there is a lot of damage they may need replace but i have never seen that with a snapped timing belt.

 

youll have to bring the head to a machine shop. Most of them will charge about $500 to rebuild it and replace any valves that need to be replaced.
