It depends on where the engines are if its on the wings then no
if the engines in the 98's are the same engines as in the 95's, then the answer is yes. if the engine turned at all after the belt broke, you will find that all you intake valves are bent.... sorry.
YES!! get it changed. The 2e is an interference engine. I have one in my Corolla and I know of several 2e engines that have bent valves and damaged rockers when the belt broke.
No. My 87 Tercel Wagon timing belt broke last year and the valves were not damaged. 3A and 3AC engines are non-interference.
yea
Probably yes. Honda's engines are so-called "interference engines."
My timing belt was almost broke and they sais that it was a good thing that I got it to the dealer when I did, or the entire thing would have been wrecked. I don't think even a new engine would help Daewoo's have interference engines, more them likely you bent some or all of the valves...
Broke down
A lot depends upon when the timing belt broke. If it broke at an idle, valves possibly are OK, If it broke at high engine speed, then bent valves are a strong possibility. All depends upon what manufacturer or model engine it is. Some manufacturers engines rarely bend valves, others almost certainly bend them. Put a new timing belt on and properly time it. Then check compression on all cylinders. If all cylinders have 125 psi or higher, then you are ok.
i HAVE A 98 AND THE BELT BROKE TWICE AND DID NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. The first time I was on freeway doing 75 and it broke. I have a '97 Contour and had no damage to the engine when my timing belt broke. Make sure you check your pulleys to ensure that the bearings are good. Mine were not and had to replace them.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
Maybe, it depends on if your engine is an interference engine.
If the timing belt broke on an interference engine, the open valves and pistons would collide and wreck the engine.
