i have a 1993 glastron with a 4 cylinder volvo 230 engine, the timing belt broke while cruising about 20 mph, luckily close to shore, i have the shop manual for the engine but i am worried that when the belt broke the pistons might have hit the valves, is this something that might have happened, also i would like to know the reason why the belt broke? the boat only has about 250 hours on it. any help would be appreciated
