Just to let you all know the timing belt was changed about 10k miles ago. So the only thing i can think is maybe the belt was defective when we put it on. and yes it was a h22.

Over tensioning the belt can do that. Do you have adjustable cam pulleys?

mine broke at around 50-60 on the freeway and we changed it, it runs fine i dont think any valves got bent, i dont think it would run at all with bent valves. i was told that dohc motors have less valve clearance and much higher chance of bending a valve

Okay, but you didn't answer my question... It may not help you out, but for my own research, I'd like to know...
