Does a 01 dodge stratus rt have overhaed valve clearance? I think my timing belt jumped. Wondering if my valves bent or if I can just change belt and water pump? Thank you in advance have a nice day

Did the Check Engine light turn on? The Engine Computer will detect it if the belt is off by one tooth. The fault code will be "Cam and crank sync". At two teeth off it will shut the engine down. At three teeth off open valves can hit the pistons as they coast to a stop on some engines.
