    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    Just curious, If the piston is undamaged in cylinder-1, can a new valve guide and a valve bring this engine back to life?

    Yeah, but you drove 400 miles after the repair. If timing marks are incorrect at the install, then valves and piston will come into contact during the first crank. Did you use OEM or Mitsuboshi (belt provided in Aisin kit)? Did you replace all the parts usually get replaced in a timing belt job?
