Question

Answer
If the timing belt has failed, it's very likely you have engine damage.  This is an interference engine, and the pistons have likely hit the valves.

I do not have access to any non-copywrighted diagrams, but will direct you to the factory diagrams and procedures.  They're available at www.hmaservice.com.  You'll need to give some information, but access to the site is free.

If you need any assistance, do follow-up.
