no
According to Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) the 2.3 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a 1989 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine so there should be no valve damage
Yes But the valves will not hit the pistons. The only interference that can happen is valve to valve interference.
Valve to piston, no. The interference is valve to valve.
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc . ) it IS NOT an interference engine , so no
The VG30E motor is an interference motor, with 0 valve clearance.
No, it's a timing chain and I've not heard of them failing. There does seem to be some disagreement if it's an interference or non-interference engine--i.e. will you destroy the valve train if the chain breaks while it's running.
Yes, the 1992 VW Jetta 1.8 engine is an interference engine.
Technically no, but I have seen valve hit valve when the timing belt breaks.
yes both the 8 valve and 16 valve engines are interterence engines
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.
yes, valve to piston interference is likely to occur if belt fails
Yes. It is a non interference engine. It will not suffer valve damage if the timing belt breaks.
