No. It is a non-interference engine.
That engine is not an interference engine, so no, the valves should not bend in the event of a timing belt break.
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
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
No,the zetech is a non interference engine,so if your timing belt breaks or shreds your pistons&valves will be fine.
an engine where, in the event that the timing is off or if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves and actually do damage.
yes, if the timing belt breaks the pistons can hit the valves causeing the valves to bend, or causeing a hole in the piston(s) eather way the engine would need to be completely rebuilt. the same damage could be caused by trying to start the engine without the timing belt intact,
yes, valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.yes, valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
AnswerThe 1.6L is a 4AFE engine, the 1.8L is the 7AFE engine. Everything I have read says these are non-interference so your valves are OK if the timing belt breaks.
If this is the European Escort This engine is classed as an interference engine. In the event of belt failiure the valves meet the pistons causing the valves to bend and possibly other engine damage.
First off the 4.7L uses a timing chain, not a belt. Second, it could bend valves if the chain breaks.
Yes. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
The intake valves can hit the exhaust valves if the timing belt breaks, so yes.
