hi.

if the timing belt broke, does the valves crush on the pistons?

It's a curiosity

No, not in any 240 sold in North America at least.

Possible exceptions may be hot cam/higher compression versions in
parts of Europe, but I'm told even the K cam does not cause valve
interference.

Either way you do not want the belt to fail, if it does the
engine stops without warning and you are stuck.

She asked what if it failed stupid, can't you understand her
question? You can't control it.

Here is the straight answer:

---------------

Your steering wheel will not work, you alternator stops charging,
and you won't go very far with your car, it will stop running in
15 minutes, because all electrical loads take power off your 12V
battery.

He answered the question, and your answer is wrong. It won't last
for 15mins, nothing will work from that point, what you are
describing is if the accessory belt(s) fail not the timing belt.
Without the timing belt the engine will not run and in come cases
it will damage the engine if it fails while the engine is running.

Really Tony balony? You idiots / liars must have sucked each other
cocks for quite sometimes now. Go away you're no experts, you don't
know shits about car's mechanic or electrical system. I passed this
type of problem before, that's why I share the truth. Why don't you
disconnect your alternator output, and see how far your fucking car
can go, dumbass!

Well, Richard, you've clearly and unambiguously shown that you can't
read and comprehend. You've also shown that your contribution to this
newsgroup is likely to be useless and unnecessarily argumentative. The
OP asked about a broken *timing* belt, you confused this with broken
*drive* belt and- on top of it- insulted one of the most useful and
helpful posters to this newsgroup. When your error was pointed out to
you, you've just gone on the attack. So, buh-bye, dude. You're a
jackass and now that I know it, I don't have to waste time reading your
bullshit. Cheers!
