Rough Idle

3 days ago while traveling the Timing Belt broke. After the garage we took it to replace the timing belt alot of smoke came out of the exhaust. I was told it was because there was a buildup of oil inside the engine when I tried to see if it would restart. To me that does not sound right as the car never smoked before and I did not think it should of smoked now. The smoking did go away by the time I got the car back home 5 hours later.

However now I am noticing that the idle seems rough when I am sitting at a stop light and the cars seems lack some of the power it used to have.

The mechanic assured me that there was no damage to the valves or pistons but now I am wondering if there was.
