Is engine ruined if timing belt on 1986 Volvo 740 gle snaps?

Not mine , I was doing about 70 when my belt broke . It took me 4 hours and $20 to know for sure boy how aggravating not knowing if my valves were bent or not. The good news is that my volvo with 345,000 miles fired right up when all work was complete. 24mpg and no payments.The above answer may be true for that owner but I do not see how it is possible. The 1986 Volvo 740 GLE 4 cylinder is an interference engine and as such if the cam belt breaks you will almost certainly have internal engine damage. The belt should be changed every 50,000 miles.

Is engine affected if timing belt not changed on 1986 Volvo?

No, No, and YES...!No, not changing the timing belt doesn't effect performance or fuel economy of your car.No, if it's not changed and if your Volvo engine is the single overhead cam type, it is a non-interference type engine and if you don't replace it then when the belt breaks, you'll be left by the side of the road, it's not really a roadside repair at several hours to replace....However being a non-interference engine it won't damage your engine when it does break.Where it is a YES....If it's a dual overhead cam engine (like the 4 cylinder 16 valve) it is an interference engine. If you don't replace it at the recommended interval or risk not only ending up by the side of the road, when it does break you'll end up with an empty wallet to repair it.
