Can you still run a 350 engine if a piston ear is missing will it cause any damage?

Could be on top of crank or in pan. If you mean part of the skirt that's unusual and
another concern would be why. Sounds like someone ran nitrous with hypereutectic pistons- meaning that might be the tip of the iceberg. Depending on other circumstances all and their bores should probably be inspected.

If the timing belt breaks on your 1999 Ford Contour will it cause engine damage?
most snapped timing belts will in most cases cause engine damage,the only exception would be a freewheeling engine were valve to piston contact would be minimal an interference type engine would cause damage.
What is the difference between preignition and detonation and how do they cause engine damage?
They are the same thing. They cause damage by applying the force of combustion to the piston before it has reached the top of its stroke, which basically pushes it "backwards"
Can an injector cause damage to a piston ring?
No, it cant.
How do you run large engine with broken piston rings?
Running an engine with broken piston rings will cause damaging scoring in the piston chamber, and is not to be recommended.
Can a motor run with a missing freeze plug?
Running it without a freeze plug it will run but can and will cause permenant damage to the engine to to the amount of antifreeze you will lose Running it without a freeze plug it will run but can and will cause permenant damage to the engine to to the amount of antifreeze you will lose
Will timing belt breaking on 1999 Camry cause valve damage?
No, the '99 Toyota Camry has a non-interference engine, where the piston and valve path do not interfere with each other. The timing belt breaking will cause your car to stop working, but will not cause valve damage.
What would cause low compression on a single piston engine?
The piston rings may be worn out .
What would cause a knocking sound only when coasting?
With Coasting I presume the sound is coming from the engine yes? If that is the case then the engine may be out of timing. this is easily adjusted but i would still only recommend having this fixed by a qualified mechanic. more details on the timing: Every engine is carefully timed. the knocking may be created by the piston hitting the closing or opening inlet/outlet valves on the way back up. this can cause severe damage to the engine as the valves could potentially bore through the piston resulting in possible damage to the piston walls as it slowly starts grinding its way through the engine walls. you may want to have this seen to.
Is to much oil bad for a 1995 gmc z71 4x4?
Yes it is, cause when a engine is running it builds pressure inside the crank case, and to much oil will cause oil leakage in the gaskets and could cause piston ring damage.
What can cause an engine to burn too much oil?
added to much oil If you added too much oil that can and will cause engine wear and damage. If you are loosing Oil it is either being burnt, or it is leaking. If it is burning oil it is normally caused by worn piston rings.
What other issues does broken timing belt on 1990 525i cause?
This is an interference engine, There is a very good chance that some valves are bent. Theres also the posibillity of piston damage.
What exerted pressure on the piston in newcomen's steam engine cause it to move?
Steam pressure pushes the piston up. Atmospheric Pressure pushes the piston down.
