that all depends on if you were driving down the road or sitting still but no it does not nessessarally mean that
Yes
The spindle is what the wheel bolts to and the brakes attach to.
No, but it is recommended. If the belt breaks, valves can get bent.
YES...And I mean BAD BEND
Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.
On a Neon engine if the timing belt breaks the valves can bend.
Yes, I blew a timing belt and have several bent valves, and corresponding nicks on the pistons to confirm it
IT MIGHT HAVE IT...LOOK UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND THE ABS UNIT AND IT'S OIL RESERVOIR. GOOD LUCK!...BB
A 1995 Mitsubishi Gallant will experience backfiring if the ignition timing is set incorrectly. This results in the fuel and air mixture being burned when valves are still open.
Yes, the valves can bend, or even damage or crack the piston. Reason is: when the cam stops rotating due to the broken timing belt the valves no longer go up and down but remain in one position (either up or down), but the crankshaft-driven pistons keep moving up and down, making hard contact with the valves, and thus the damage.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I would say ( no ) According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1995 Ford Contour ( IS NOT AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE )
When you attempt the start the engine it will not start and will more than likely damage the valves and or pistons.
