A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
do you mean is a Honda engine an interference engine? in which the valves will get bent by the pistons if the timing belt fails? then yes.
Bent/broken valves, lifters, pistons, etc. Major engine damage.
your timing can not be right
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.
If you are talking about the PISTON RODS then they will not make any noise. The engine will just wear the pistons and cylinder walls until you have a problem with oil comsupition. If the push rods or bent then you will have a engine miss and rocker arm noise in the valve covers/ clatting noise.
The valves get bent by the pistons and the head/pistons an be damaged. In expreme cases the connecting rods can become bent or break and the crankshaft bearings can become damaged.
There are ( 8 PISTONS ) in a V8 engine
MAJOR Engine damage. Bent valves, broken pistons. Nuff said.
Rotary engines do not have pistons.
It can, because when the timing chain/ belt fails, the pistons and valve are no longer in time, and the valves can be pen when the piston comes back up. This can cause bent valves, and piston damage. this is wrong a 2.3 is not a critical clearance engine the valves will never hit the pistons.
Replace the bent valves with new ones. Several places carry them. Be prepared it is a very in depth job. Be sure to check the pistons to make sure they aren't too damaged from the valves coming into contact with them.
It had a turbine engine, not a motor with pistons.
