No, not enough clearance.No, not enough clearance.
What should you do to the heads on a 350 Chevy for a cam with 292 dur and a 501 lift?
I wouldn't be so worried about the heads as the pistons. Make sure you have enough clearance so that an open valve won't hit a piston.
What is zero clearance engine?
In an engine, the piston's go up and the valve's that are adjacent to that piston go up. When the piston goes down the adjacent valves go down. This is achieved by the timing belt or chain and the engine timing being set correctly. If the belt or chain breaks, the pistons still go up and down, but the valve's stop moving. On a non clearance engine, the piston will go up and hit the valves, resulting in bent valves and a now needed head job. In a clearance engine, the top of the piston has an inset cut into it that is just enough room to avoid hitting the valves.
Will your engine on a 1997 Avalon be damaged if the timing belt breaks before you replace it?
no, the valves are far enough away from the pistons for this not to be a problem You will be dead in the water where it breaks and need a tow. As a 'repair', expect to pay somewhat more for replacement than were you to schedule this item as a 'scheduled maintenance procedure'.
Why you change the timing belt for 96 Honda civic before 90000 miles?
Because after 90,000 miles you might have to rebuild the engine when the timing belt breaks and the pistons kiss the valves. Far far far cheaper to replace that belt now as opposed to an engine overhaul, not to mention the lead time for major repairs. Over time and miles timing belts stretch and age. If they stretch enough they can slip causing the relationship between the pistons and valves to go out of sequence. In some cars this is catastrophic and causes damage to the valves and possibly destroys the engine when the valves actually hit the pistons. If the belt breaks the same thing happens, usually worse.
Do you have to drop the axle to take out the gas tank on a 94 Z28 convertible or can you get enough clearance by jacking up the body?
I don't believe you have to. There should be enough clearance to remove the gas tank.
Will Chevy 307 pistons fit on Chevy 305?
307 pistons are 3.875" diameter. 305 pistons are 3.736". It might be possible to bore a 305 large enough to accept the 307 pistons, but the wrist pin location would be .230" off because of the different stroke. In short, no.
Can you put 245 75 16 on a 1993 GMC sierra?
Yes, they will fit on the rims and have enough clearance. I had 285 75 16 on my 4x4 on the stock rims and there was enough clearance for those also.
In a 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 engine timing chain failure is there enough valve clearance to avoid engine damage?
The 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 engine has a no-interference design. This means that?æ there is enough clearance between the piston and the valves. Therefore, when the timing belt fails, no damage will occur to the engine.
If the camshaft snapped on a Nissan Serena could that have caused damage to the valves?
i think u mean cambelt not shaft as i cant see that snapping. Though the answer for both is the same yea it will damge the valve's and pistons this is because the cam will stop and the crank will keep on goin.This means pistons will meet valves at speed (not good) sometimes on petrol engines there is enough clearance so the 2 wont meet but u dont stand a chance on a diesel.
How do you remove oil pan 1999 dodge durango 4 wheel drive?
