Could a bad/slipping timing belt cause a spark plug to shoot out?

ive been trying to research this since i have never done it. looks like im going to have to remove the cams and everything. can anyone point me in the right direction? the bgb link i think i need on celicatech is dead and i would love to do this myself.
so i know ill need a new head gasket, and probobly some sealant for the valve cover, my timing belt needs replaced so i guess this would be a good time to do it as well? i saw a walkthrough for that already. im surprised i couldnt find more information on the head; seeing as how the head gasket is replaced by a lot of the turbo setups.
