hello all, has anyone had a snapped balance shaft belt which has got under the cam belt and caused it to jump a few teeth on a 1991 shogun 2.5 td. can i expect bent valves or is it a safe engine ?

According to Autodata the 2.5 Shotgun engine is not safe if belt breaks however if the belt has only jumped two or three teeth you may be lucky. Fit new belts and hold your breath!
If it had failed and it were mine I wouldn't bother repairing the engine because of the danger of subsequent engine failure from unseen damage elsewhere in the engine, but would source a known guaranteed unit from the jap engine importers and fit that (with new belts, water pump, guides and tensioners).
Andrew.
Simplicate and add lightness!
