1992 Honda Civic 1.5 16 valve When timing belt breaks do valves get bent from hitting piston?

If it is a CRX then I believe it is an interference engine and yes you could have possibly damaged your valves pistons or both with the timing belt failure. The only way to know for sure is to do a compression test on the vehicle assuming it will still turn over after you fix the timing belt

Will the valves bend in an interference engine when the timing belt breaks?
In almost every instance yes, there will be damage to the valves and possibly the piston.
Can the valve get bent when the timing chain breaks?
The Simple answer is yes the piston its the valves and possibly damage the pistons
If the timing belt breaks will the piston heads crash with the valves on a 2004 Kia Optima 2.4 dohc?
The failure of the 2004 Kia 2.4 liter timing belt can cause severe damage to the piston heads and the valves. The timing belt failure can ruin the engine.
What is zero clearance engine?
In an engine, the piston's go up and the valve's that are adjacent to that piston go up. When the piston goes down the adjacent valves go down. This is achieved by the timing belt or chain and the engine timing being set correctly. If the belt or chain breaks, the pistons still go up and down, but the valve's stop moving. On a non clearance engine, the piston will go up and hit the valves, resulting in bent valves and a now needed head job. In a clearance engine, the top of the piston has an inset cut into it that is just enough room to avoid hitting the valves.
What happens when a timing belt breaks on a Honda Pilot?
Almost always you will have bent valves and possible a busted piston. This is an interference engine.
If a timing belt on a 92 Geo Metro 1.0L breaks does it do any further motor damage?
Answer: yes it could have bent some valves or damaged a piston with one or more of the valves( could have punched hole in piston or smashed piston so hard that it damaged a bearing)
Do overhead valves on a Ford Taurus bend the valves and get into the piston when the timing chain breaks?
yes they could but it depends on the position of the cam. the valves could be stuck in an open postion and then the piston comes up and could strike the valve. this is a bad scenario and i hope it doesnt happen to you
Does a 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser have an interference engine?
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
1999 zx2 timing belt breaks will the valves be bad?
the ZETEC engine used in the 1999 ZX2 is a non-interference engine. This means that the pistons will not contact the valves when the timing belt breaks. Because of this, the valves will not be bad if the timing belt breaks
Would a 1992 ford gt 1.8 liter engine be a interferance?
By interference, if you are referring to the valves. The 1.8 liter is a non interference engine. If the timing belt brakes, then the valves do not interfere with the piston. They do not try and occupy the same space. The 1.9 liter engine is an interference engine. If the timing belt breaks then the valves will occupy the same space as the piston and they will hit each other.
Valves breaking in 2001 vw jetta tdi?
Just a guess, as I don't own one of these; VW engines are minimal or zero-clearance, meaning that the valves will hit the top of the piston if they aren't working correctly. If the timing belt (which it tied in with the valve operation) breaks, some valves may be stuck in the open position, and they could be clobbered by the piston. If the timing belt was recently replaced, they might not have correctly timed the valves.
Is a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser motor a non interference motor?
No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
