Some motors are interference motors, meaning that the valves and pistons are capable of occupying the same space. Broken timing chain/belt on an interference motor usually means destroyed valves and damaged pistons. My old 3000GT V6 DOHC had an interference motor, but my 92 Toyota I4 pickup did not.

40-50 years ago this was true, now timing belts breaking are not a death sentence.

How so? With an “interference” engine yes it is very likely a death sentence, and being an Audi DOHC V-6 it’s most likely an interference engine.

Since **** you, that's when.
Sorry, been wanting to drop that for a while now. Usually, if your timing belt/chain snaps, you're pushing rods, warping heads, and your engine is a long goner. Now, that said, I'm a car reerun, but I do know that much. I'm sure there are exceptions, but that's the general rule. Do what Clay, and I did SR.

Blew one in 97 And it was the end of an 89 Honda civic. Billowed smoke.
Blew the ****ing engine. Worthless. Purchased a 91 Honda Civic SI and loved that car. Perhaps more than any other relationship I've ever been in. When I parted with it I felt guilt. Sadness and guilt. Finally sold it and purchased a 98 Civic and I still live with and despise this POS vehicle...

Looking through Craigslist, there are a ton of Hondas on there that got new engines around 120K miles, which is most likely from broken timing belts. Apparently people forget about this whole "routine maintenance" thing.
