Nope it is not, just redo the timing and you will be fine.

Whew, lucky man. This just happened to my friend's Dodge Neon a few weeks ago, goodbye engine

most of our motors are non-interference, it's great when the belt snaps or skips a tooth but we have to live with the dreaded HLA tick

Dunno bout you, but i'd rather deal with a ticking noise over bent valves any day

I don't actually know what the sound sounds like, so i don't know if i have the clicking issue.
