either pull the cylinder head off, or pull a plug and look into the cylinder with a boroscope.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER IF YOU SUSPECT A BROKEN TIMING BELT !!!!!! If you have, you already have more problems than a broken timing belt. Remove the upper timing belt cover and physically look at the timing belt.
The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt. It has a chain that requires no maintenance.
will a broken drive belt damage the motor of a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder truck
Engine will not start and run if the belt has broken.
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
The 2000 Mercury Villager uses a timing belt and has a non-interference engine. Which means that if the timing belt were to break that no engine damage would occur from the valves and pistons hitting each other.
A broken timing belt on a Ford ZX2 will not damage the engine. The 2.0 ZETEC engine used in the ZX2 is a non-interference engine which means the pistons will not come into contact with the valves should the belt break. Because of this the valves will not be damaged and no engine damage will occur.
If the timing belt has broken, the usual case is the motor has bent valves and is destroyed.
how do you set timing on a 92 geo prizm if timing belt has broken
This is a non-interference engine, meaning if the timing belt breaks it will not damage the engine.
short answer; the engine will not run with a broken timing belt. also the RL has an interferance motor, meaning that if the timing belt breaks you are likely to smack the piston heads into the valves, thus causing extensive and costly damage..
No, it is a non-interference motor
