You obviously know the answer to you're question, and yes, overheating is one of the effects of the timing belt being improperly installed.

depends on the engine



effects of a bad timing can include all of these effects, and even physical damage to the engine. this damage might not show up immediately.



if a shop did this get evidence and make them fix it. this may involve the courts unfortunately.



if you or a friend did this, fix it and learn from the mistake! and check the compression.
Yea... all you need to know is that it will destroy your engine, over a period of time.
THE TIMING OF THE ENGINE MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH OVERHEATING I DONT QUITE UNDERSTAND HOW YOU IMPROPERLY INSTALL A TIMIMG BELT.
Yes. With the belt improperly installed the spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the correct position on the piston stroke. Symptoms besides overheating can be loss of power, hard starting, poor fuel economy, and run on(engine continues to run on very poorly when key is turned off).
