Where is the timing belt located on a 1994 Plymouth Sundance?
On a '94 Sundance with a 2.5L non-turbo engine like mine, there is a plastic cover at the left (your left as you are looking at it) of the valve cover. The timing belt is under that. The belt goes down and around the crankshaft. In order to change or adjust the belt, you have to first undo the negative battery terminal, then jack up the front passenger side and remove the wheel and belt splash guard. Remove all of the accessory belts (power steering, a/c, and water pump/alternator belt). Take the a/c compressor off (don't disconnect the coolant lines, just move the compressor out of the way. Then you have to unbolt the alternator and remove the aluminum bracket that the compressor and alternator were bolted to. After that, undo the five bolts on the crankshaft pulley. This should allow you to remove the plastic timing belt covers, both lower and upper. This will expose the timing belt. In order to remove or adjust the belt, make sure you have all the timing marks lined up. You can use the bolt on the end of the crankshaft sprocket and a wrench to turn the engine over until all the timing marks (camshaft sprocket, secondary sprocket and flywheel marks) are in the correct position with the #1 piston at TDC. Loosen the tensioner and adjust the belt to the correct position. If you are going to replace it, remove the tensioner and slide the belt off the sprockets. This may take some jimmying. To get the belt off and a new one on, you need to undo the bolts that fasten the engine mount to the frame. After the bolts are removed, place a jack under the oil pan and lift up the engine until you have enough space to get the belt around the engine mount. Put the new belt on, making sure it is lined up properly. Even if it is one tooth off, it could do permanent damage to your engine or at the very least, won't allow the engine to start. Use the timing marks to get the valve and ignition timing correct. You can check to make sure the valves aren't interfering with the pistons by removing the spark plugs to allow the engine to rotate freely and using the bolt on the end of the crankshaft to turn the engine two full revolutions. If you feel resistance, then recheck how the belt is lined up. Once you have the correct timing, put your car back together and make sure it runs properly. Consult a repair manual and make sure you know what you're doing before you begin.

How do you use studer valves for venting the whole house?
you can put them anywhere as long as you can get to them if they need to be replaced You will have to have one ( 3 in. ) vent to outside. All other fixtures you can you can use the studer vent. I would use them at each fixture
1999 zx2 timing belt breaks will the valves be bad?
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.
What is a interference engine?
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.

When the timing belt breaks on a 95 prizm with a 1.6L does it take out the valves?
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.
Does it bend the valves on a 94 escort 1.9 engine when the timing belt breaks?
No. It is a non-interference engine.
2000 Dodge durango 4.7 Dodge engine bend valves when the timing belt breaks?
First off the 4.7L uses a timing chain, not a belt. Second, it could bend valves if the chain breaks.
Does the 2003 dodge neon have an interference engine?
Yes. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
Is a 2.4 Dodge engine an interference engine 01 Dodge Status?
The intake valves can hit the exhaust valves if the timing belt breaks, so yes.
Will the valves bend in an interference engine when the timing belt breaks?
In almost every instance yes, there will be damage to the valves and possibly the piston.
Will valves bend if timing belt breaks on vw golf 1400cc 1999?
?If a timing belt or chain breaks while the engine is running the engine will be severely damaged and some of the valves will probably bend and damage the pistons. A timing best needs to be replaced BEFORE it reaches the end of its life and breaks. Car manuals make this clear.
Is the 2002 Chrysler 2.4L engine an interference or non-interference engine?
Interference, valves can bend when the timing belt breaks.
