If the timing belt breaks on a 2.2L F22 Honda engine will it damage engine parts?
Or can you just put a new timing belt on for the repair and the engine should be back to where it was before the timing belt break?
Is this a good question?

Kingfish, if your timing belt brakes during operation, the valves will meet the piston in an unpleasant way. you can not just replace the belt, but you will have to rebuild the top end. That is the reason for the importance of changing it according to Honda's guidelines.

Thanks Old Turkey. I was looking at buying one with a broken timing belt. I know on some engines there is enough clearance if the belt breaks that there is no damage and on others it puts the valves through the pistons. Thanks and I hope you have a great day!!!!
It probably would be damaged. If you can put on new belt and test before buy, then…
Haynes book has instructions to show you how.
