It is about 50% possible for the valves to hit the head on a Neon. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
The engine will turn on the starter, or with a wrench on the end of the crankshaft. However it will not run. If the Timing belt breaks, when the engine is running, this can cause extensive damage to the engine.
Yes. If the timing belt breaks while the engine is running you will bend the valves and probably damage the pistons.
If it breaks while the engine is runnIng, yes. It can damage the valve train
Well I really have no idea what a ldv is, but if your timing belt breaks and your engine is an interference engine there will be damage. If it is not an interference engine there will be no damage.
YES, And depending on the type of engine it can total the engine if it breaks.
It will make no sound, it will just break. When it breaks your engine will stop running. If the engine is an interference engine you will have serious engine damage.
yes
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 this is an interference engine damage to valves will occur if the timing belt breaks and the engine is turned
Yes, when the belt breaks the engine will not run. In addition you will have internal engine damage if the engine was an interference engine.
?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.
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.
