Is a 1995 acura integra 1.8 an interference or non-interference engine?
It is an interference engine, timing belt breaks during engine operation and the valves are going to hit the pistons.
Do you need a new engine if the timing chain breaks on your 1994 Ford Courier?
Damage is only done if the motor is an "interference" design. ie the valves and the pistons overlap in the same place, only kept from colliding by the timing chain. When the timing chain breaks on a interference design, valves and pistons smash together. If it's not an interference design, the pistons and valve won't come into contact if the timing chain breaks, so odds are no internal damage done.
2001 Mazda millenia is it a tollerance motor?
i think you mean interference. it is NON interference. if the timing belt breaks, the valves dont hit the pistons
Do valves bend after timing belt breaks?
In many cars YES, but not all cars.The engines will be "Interference Engines" or "Noninterference engines"When the belt breaks in interference engines the valves strike the pistons and bend.
Is a Mazda Protege 1.6L DOHC an interference engine?
As far as I'm aware the engine is identical to that used in the MX5, so I'd assume yes it is an interference engine ^^Actually, the engines have the same displacement but that is the only similarity. The blocks are different, the transmissions are different and the heads are totally different. The mx5 engine is a B6 and the protege 1.6l is a ZM or ZM-DE depending on whether or not it is european. That being said, the protege 1.6l engine is non-interference, meaning that if your timing is off or your timing belt skips or breaks, the valves will not come into contact at any point with the pistons (there are 4 cut-aways in the piston heads to prevent any contact with the valves)
Is a volkswagen jetta 2003 1.8 t 20 valve engine interference?
Yes, it is a interference engine. If your belt slips or breaks you will bend valves and smack your pistons
Is honda v6 interference engine?
Honda engines are interference engines. That means if the timing belt breaks, catastrophic damage could result when the pistons hit the valves.
What is a interference engine?
an engine where, in the event that the timing is off or if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves and actually do damage.
Is the 1998 neon DOHC 2.0 engine a non-interference engine?
The engine is an interference engine, if the timing belt breaks or slips it will cause damage to the valves and possibly the pistons.
What else breaks when the timing belt snaps?
It all depends on if you have an interference engine or not, if you do valves could hit pistons if running at the time
Does a 1990 VW fox have an interference engine?
Yes it does. No sir, I disagree. If it is the original1.8L SOHC gasoline engine then it is not an interference engine. ie: if the cam belt breaks it will not damage the pistons or valves.
Is the 2.4L engine in a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse an interference engine?
yes, the 2.4 is an interference engine, meaning the valves and pistons occupy the same space at different times. if your t- belt breaks, they will occupy the same space at the same time....resulting in a bent intake valve(s).
