This is an interference motor, if cranked the valves will come into contact with the piston and cause major damage. Its very possible that valves may have bent(worst case). Have the belt replaced and engine pressure tested. Hopefully its not the worst case.

If this is the same VG30E, 3.0L engine used in the Quest and Maxima, go to the Villager Quest site and look in the engine file. It's all there. the trick to getting the timing belt on, is to have a helper so you can slide the belt on all 3 gears at once.
There were 2 engines used. The VG30E(GXE version) and the VE30DE(on the 92-94 SE versions). The VG30E has a timing belt and the VE30DE has a timing chain.
This vehicle has an interference engine (v6-VG30E), If the timing belt ran or snapped while running, its very possible the engine is severely damaged. Hopefully this helps!!
this is an interference motor, if the timing belt snapped/broke while running. Its possible that you may have internal engine damage(worst case). I suggest having a mechanic check it out before performing the belt replacement. Hopefully this helps
My sincere apologies for the extremely delayed response. I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions. I have only been a free contributor to this site for the past 4-months.
I do not know if you still need this information, but I am going ahead and answering it anyway.
1. Non Turbo =VG30E. Turbo = VG30ET. In any case the Engine Cylinder numbers, Firing Order, and Distributor Connections are the same.
For the 3.0L: Firing Order: 1-2-3-4-5-6 Cylinders: (back of engine) 5--------6 3--------4 1--------2 (front of engine) Distributor:
....(back) .6......5......4 .|.......|........| V......V......V |..................| |..................| ^.......^.......^ .|........|........| 1.......2.......3
....(front)
2. I am not sure what what "cam adjustments" you were looking for. I am sure you probably have taken care of that or found what you were looking for. However, in most cases the person is really asking about the Timing issue.
