T-Belt breaks no drive car. Also possible valvetrain damage as it's an interference engine. DIY?? Dunno, how good are you? If you are patient and medium or better DYI, then it's okay

 

im goin to school for automotive technology...so i have use of a shop and all the tools i could possibly need...and the car doesnt run...i had it towed to my school...i was hoping it wasnt an interference engine...but i thought it was...i just hope none of the valves are bent...thanks for the help

Interference? <==> Non-interference?

 

An interference engine is one in which when the timing belt breaks, the valves hit the pistons, causing major damage to the engine. A non interference engine is one in which there is enough room for the pistons to be at their highest point and the valves at their lowest point without hitting one another.
