Q.If the timing belt breaks on a 96 RL, will it damage the engine?

Answer It is not a certainty that
damage will occur if the timing belt breaks but your engine IS an interference engine and the possibility is there. A lot depends on vehicle speed, engine speed and the position the cam shafts are in when the belt stops driving them.
