Do the valves clear the pistons if the timing belt jumps on a 1998 ford contour 4-cylinder?

Sometimes if the timing belt jumps a cog or two at idle the engine will still be OK even on an "interference motor". If, however the belt snaps at highway speeds, it can bend the valves.I hope this helps you. Mark

Do the valves clear the pistons if the timing belt breaks on 1998 ford contour 4 cylinder?
( Yes ) according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1998 Ford Contour IS NOT an interference engine
Why do engines blow when timing belts break?
The timing belt is what keeps the valves from moving in synch with the pistons. If the timing belt snaps or cogs over the pistons are likely to collide with the valves smashing them both.
Do the valves hit the pistons when the timing belt goes out on a 1995 ford contour?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I would say ( no ) According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1995 Ford Contour ( IS NOT AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE )
Whats the problem Peugeot 106 no oil in the engine and the pistons bent all the exhaust valves changed the 4 valves and the pistons are still hitting the exhaust valves and the valve timing is right?
your timing can not be right
How do you replace the water pump on a 2000 Dodge Caravan?
If this is a 4cylinder motor, the water pump is located in with the timing belt,and should be replaced by a qualified mechanic, this is a interference motor, if timing belt is not properly installed, motor damage will result. Bent valves, holes in pistons,etc.
Is a 1999 Daewoo leganza a zero clearance engine?

300zx Nissan broken timing belt damage engine?
ANSWER YES, The valves will hit the top of pistons and either the valves will bend or the pistons will be destroyed.......
Is the 1997 ford contour 2.5L dohc duratec engine an interference design. Will the valves contact the pistons when a timing component fails?
The 2.5 L Duratec engine has two timing chains so yes, it's interference. They usually can handle 200k miles though. If it breaks, it is likely smashed the valves.
Why does car turn over then stops like its jammed just had new timing belt?
If a new timing belt was installed but the valve timing does not correspond with the pistons ie: the valves opening as the pistons reaching top dead centre ,,then it will be jamming.. bending valves and possibly damaging pistons.. when fitting a new timing belt or chain you have to be very careful of cam/valve position in respect of the pistons
What happens if a 1995 Honda Civic ex timing belts breaks?
Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.
What can a broken timing chain damage?
On an interference engine it can damage the valves, heads, and pistons.
What type of engine wont let valves collide with pistons when timing IS OFF?
Noninterference
