Timing belt service

Maintenance/Repairs

If you just replaced a timing belt for a customer, would you run the engine long enough to let it “warm” up? Is that a general practice? personal opinion? Just wondering. I’m asking this because when I went to pick up my truck I saw that the “neck”, it’s the part of the radiator where the hose goes over on top. That was hit with a force that broke the wield. I went there for a timing belt replacement, had no problem with the radiator. The service manager tells me, “I don’t know if it was broken before you brought it in because didn’t run the engine long enough after we replaced the timing belt”. There’s way more to the story, I don’t want to bore anyone.
Thank you,
John
