The pistons hit the valves and your engine is basically ruined.
Because the Accord 1991 has an interference engine, the pistons will hit the valves and either bend them or break them or both if the timing belt breaks.
Almost always you will have bent valves and possible a busted piston. This is an interference engine.
This is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The belt and water pump must be replaced every 105,000 miles.
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.
Yes... when the timing belt breaks... the valves will bend and/or break. All Honda's do that!
Wanna know how to make $10k per month while you sleep? Click the link in my bio I'm shocked at the results 😳
You change the timing belt at 100,000 km. you can do it at 90,000 just to be on the safe side. If it breaks you can bend your valves
It is an interference engine by design so if the timing belt breaks it will be seriously damaged. The valves will be bent and the engine will need repairs costing upwards of $1500
The 2003 Honda Civic is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks you will have engine damage. Replace the cam belt every 105,000 miles.
Worst case scenario, the pistons will slap the valves wrecking them and possibly even scaring the piston heads as well. Could be very costly so replace your timing belt at regular intervals to avoid this.
Well, you could try a certified Honda Dealership, check your local listings, online, etc.
Honda engines are interference engines. That means if the timing belt breaks, catastrophic damage could result when the pistons hit the valves.
