it could break a valve, but will probably just bend a few.
Usually yes, mine just went while driving on a motorway and it took out four valves. I spoke to the recovery guy and he said he has never seen a case where it did not do damage to the valves. This combined with other possible damage caused can potentially write off a car depending on its value. To be honest I cannot imagine a scenario in which a timing belt would break when the engine is not running, real question is how hard is it running.
depends on if the timing belt broke or not.... if the car was running and it broke there is a good chance you will need to do heads valves etc. on the dodge neons there is a zero tollerance clearance. About 1500.00 to 2000.00 if it broke while running About 150.00 to 200.00 if you replace it before it breaks
if i remember correctly the 2001 still has an interference engine.....if your timing belt broke you surely pinged some valves.
If the Vehicle was running when the belt broke then you probably bent some, if not all, the valves. If by chance you werent running it then you might be lucky and the belt is the worst of the damage.
Maybe, it depends on if your engine is an interference engine.
No
if the timing belt is broke, then the car wont start. and u probably bent a bunch of valves.
Noninterference
No-
Chances are, Yes. They're running a no-clearance engine which means that if the timing gets screwed up too much, The pistons will smash into valves and essentially screw all of the assembly up.
it is possible that the valve stems got bent depending on how many rpm's the engine was running at the time the belt broke.
no the valvesn will not be damaged this is not a intefearance motor
