Default 2001 Kia Sephia Timing Belt

anyone ever have any experience with these motors?
we had a mid to late 90's daewoo that smoked the belt, bent a few valves, but was easily fixed with new valves, belt and head gasket

now we've got a kia that popped the belt, haven't ripped the motor down, but i'm hoping perhaps it'll be a similar siuation
i've seen many honda horror stories with valves being ground into the head and pistons but have never seen any broken valves in real life
only bent valves

any info?

Someone parked a daewoo nubira at the end of my driveway, and it's been there for a month and a half. It's not quite on my property, but if you need parts, let me know

That's what it was built to be? A cheap ass turb box with little power.

Wait... isn't that the point of Hondas and most Nissans too?
