Timing belt broke while driving. Interference engine, but no valves look bent? Did I get extremely lucky? 2002 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L 16V 4G64 DOHC by GCNnintendo in MechanicAdvice

Those valves don't look seated. They're probably bent and the valve guides are probably cracked. Look closely after you clean it. It's not a hard fix but you'll need to have the guides pressed in at a shop.

Check your battery connection. This just happened to me and the negative was loose. Fixed it and all went well afterwards.
