Want this question answered?
First off the 4.7L uses a timing chain, not a belt. Second, it could bend valves if the chain breaks.
The 2.3L is NOT an interference motor so it is highly unlikely that damage will occur. The engine just won't start or it will run badly.
No it will not start and if the timing belt has jumped you can severly damage the valve train in your engine by attempting to start it. The whole purpose of the timing belt is to make sure the valves open at the correct time during piston travel. Therefore if the timing belt has slipped your timing is going to be off by more than a couple of degrees and the piston is going to slam into the valve and bend the valve stem.
If it is an interference engine the valves can bend/break.
Yes it is an interference engine. If the timing is off, by even one tooth, you will bend the valves
ur timings off the blocks timing doesnt match ur heads timing so the valves open up as the piston comes up and hits the valve
Some times on/off valves are to large to be actuated using one solenoid valve,but most of the on/off valves are being actuated using only one solenoid valve
Highly recommend taking it to a dealer. One if you get the timing off a tooth then your engine will crash. Meaning the piston will come up and hit the valves and bend them. Then you need a new engine.
Yes there is a chance of valve damage when a timing belt fails. Being that the valves and pistons operate in the same cylinder at different times to preform their tasks. The timing belt keeps the valves and pistons in time so they do what they should when they are suppose to, when the belt fails, the pistons are still moving and the valves stop. The piston can then collide with the valve causing damage to the valve and also move the valve causing other valves to move, causing even more damage to other valves in the system as the other pistons continue to move. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help.
If the timing belt snaps on a 2.5 Transit diesel, a secondary issue may be valve damage. When the timing of the engine is off, it throws the internal components out of whack.
Not recommended. The water pump runs off of the timing belt, if the belt fails the valves can bend.
It is the "Advertised duration", used by the factory. It is the Valve timing from when the valve is .006inches off the valve seat to .006" off the valve seat.
