92 Sentra Classic--Timing Belt Issue

1992 Sentra Classic 1.6L 4 cyl. Going about 35MPH, my wife heard a buzzing sound and engine stopped. Timing belt snapped. Is there any chance that there was no valve damage. I had a 1988 Corolla 1.6L DOHC 16 valve. Same thing happened. New Belt and it was fine. Is the Nissan engine also a non-interference engine or am I sunk? Thank you

Sorry, assumed it was a belt. My question, however still stands. Can you help?

Actually, it IS a belt. I took off the cover to see. It is also intact! So the break must be in whatever links the lower pulley to the crankshaft pulley (chain, belt, gear, etc.) Sadly I was hoping my question about bent valves would be answered.

No....everything looks good and tight. Something else broke. Remember we are dealing with a Sentra Classic, the boxy model made in Mexico. It basically was a parts bin car, using stuff from the '89 Sentra.

Can you clarify what is turning and what is not?
