Went to start my neon and it didn't start. Didn't sound right while turning over with the starter either. No R-R-R sound. Just a FL-FL-FL sound. I happen to have the requried items to check Compression, and discoverd it had none. So I determined I slipped a timing belt. What is the chances of this causing another problem. This is a Dual Overhead Cam 2.0 liter.

I am 99% certain this will have damaged some valves. But the only way to tell for sure is to strip the head off. Or try puttin new belt on and keeping ya fingers crossed?
