Cylinder leak down test. Requires some work to do but it will confirm bent valves. Based on past experience with that 2.0 (Mitsubishi) engine, it has valve damage.

X2IT IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE IS REPLACE THE BELT AND SEE WHATS HAPPENS. I'VE HAD THEM DID NO DAMAGE AND I'VE HAD THEM THAT TOOK THE ENGINE OUT. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IT YOURSELF ,YOUR OUT THE COST OF THE BELT
why bother with it i would cost more than the car is worth ..200/300 scrap metal(car named after a fish with a short life span) got an 87 Yugo for sale! better yet lets run it over with a monster truck...videoITQuestion for engine mechanics. Got a 00 Dodge Neon. Today from a stop, I went to make a turn and the motor shut off. Would not restart, timing belt is toast. I have read that valves are likely bent. Is there easy way to check, or is taking off the intake manifold the only option short of pulling the head?
