No.
If the timing belt snaps on a 2.5 Transit diesel, a secondary issue may be valve damage. When the timing of the engine is off, it throws the internal components out of whack.
On an interference engine the pistons will hit the valves and cause severe internal engine damage.
If the timing belt on a 1.6 Astra breaks, it can damage the engine. It is more likely to damage the engine if it is a timing chain, though. A timing chain is made of metal and a timing belt is made of a heavy duty rubber.
An engine can lock up on a number of reasons but mainly due to mechanical failure for example if the Timing belt snaps... etc...
When the timing chain snaps in a 2001 Toyota Echo, it can lead to severe engine damage, particularly if the engine is an interference type, which it is. This can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, and potentially a complete engine failure. Additionally, the loss of timing can cause the engine to stall, leading to issues with starting and overall vehicle performance. Immediate repair is necessary to avoid further damage and costly repairs.
It all depends on if you have an interference engine or not, if you do valves could hit pistons if running at the time
YES !!! it is a close tolerance engin . if the timing belt snaps in drive mode the valves will bend .
How can you tell it's an interference engine or If it's a non-interference engine, or if your valves are in the right place when the belt snaps? Also how can I remove the crank shaft pully?
This is an interference engine. If the timing belt snaps it will cause a loads of problems: bent valves, damaged pistons, damaged cam shaft. Replace the belt every 60,000 miles.
yes,the engine is a full interference engine, translation : if timing belts snaps while running severe damage usually results to pistons, camshaft and valves. $2,500.00 this is kia # they can tell you if it is a non interference or not 1 800 333 4542
Its a safe engine so no damage will be done..just fit another belt and tensioner and away you go.. This is a non interference engine so if the timing belt snaps, the only damage is the belt itself. This means that you can fit a new belt, time the engine and continue
It has a timing belt. And it also has an interference engine. At NAPA's online website, where it shows the timing components for vehicles, you can determine whether it has a timing chain, or belt. And if it has an interference engine, that is usually shown as a comment by the belt (by part # and such). AFTER you have chosen your engine size also. If you do not choose your engine size also, the information by Napa's timing beltwill not show up. And it also appears to not show up as a comment by the OTHER brands of timing belts. I just now figured that last part out! With an interference engine, it often damages a number of internal parts on the engine, if the timing belt snaps, and part of the engine stops, while the other parts of the engine spin freely. --Tom.
