Do the valves clear the pistons if the timing belt jumps on a 1998 ford contour 4-cylinder?

Sometimes if the timing belt jumps a cog or two at idle the engine will still be OK even on an "interference motor". If, however the belt snaps at highway speeds, it can bend the valves.I hope this helps you. Mark

What all does it effect when the timing chain snaps in an 01 Toyota Echo?

When the timing chain snaps in a 2001 Toyota Echo, it can lead to severe engine damage, particularly if the engine is an interference type, which it is. This can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, and potentially a complete engine failure. Additionally, the loss of timing can cause the engine to stall, leading to issues with starting and overall vehicle performance. Immediate repair is necessary to avoid further damage and costly repairs.

Does the 2009 Honda accord have a timing chain or a timing belt?

It has a timing belt. And it also has an interference engine. At NAPA's online website, where it shows the timing components for vehicles, you can determine whether it has a timing chain, or belt. And if it has an interference engine, that is usually shown as a comment by the belt (by part # and such). AFTER you have chosen your engine size also. If you do not choose your engine size also, the information by Napa's timing beltwill not show up. And it also appears to not show up as a comment by the OTHER brands of timing belts. I just now figured that last part out! With an interference engine, it often damages a number of internal parts on the engine, if the timing belt snaps, and part of the engine stops, while the other parts of the engine spin freely. --Tom.
