Depends on if the engine is an interference engine or not, and how fast it shut down when the belt broke. Interference in this case means that valve and piston reach can overlap, which very often means that when they fall out of synch they smash into each other. If it's a non-interference engine it's no worries.
What else can I help you with?
What damage does a snapped timing belt on Renault Scenic do?
Very high probability of valve damage. Havent seen one yet that hasn't bent valves when belt broke. hope this helps
What damage will occur on a 1993 Honda accord if the timing belt breaks?
If the Vehicle was running when the belt broke then you probably bent some, if not all, the valves. If by chance you werent running it then you might be lucky and the belt is the worst of the damage.
If your timing belt broke on your Mitsubishi 3000gt did it do damage to engine?
if the timing belt does go on gto it would be a miracle if you didn't bend half of the valves ! its whats called an interference motor. if something gets out of time - you get major interference, costs $$$$$
You have a 2001 Neon and the timing belt broke on the freeway how often are the valves bent?
if i remember correctly the 2001 still has an interference engine.....if your timing belt broke you surely pinged some valves.
What is an interence engine?
If the timing belt broke on an interference engine, the open valves and pistons would collide and wreck the engine.
What damage would happen if cam belt snaps?
Bent/broken valves, lifters, pistons, etc. Major engine damage.
If you have a 1993 ford escort lx wagon and timing belt broke while driving would there be any damage to motor?
It's possible. There are only 2 ways to find out: 1. disassemble the engine and inspect for damage. 2. Put a new timing belt on and see if you have good compression across all cylinders. If you do, you probably didn't cause damage when the timing belt broke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put on the timing belt. The car will run fine or really poorly. It will be obvious if you have any bent or stuck valves. Y-THINK-Y
Timing belt broke when running will it brake valves?
Usually yes, mine just went while driving on a motorway and it took out four valves. I spoke to the recovery guy and he said he has never seen a case where it did not do damage to the valves. This combined with other possible damage caused can potentially write off a car depending on its value. To be honest I cannot imagine a scenario in which a timing belt would break when the engine is not running, real question is how hard is it running.
Your timing belt has snapped is my engine damaged 1.8 1997 Renault laguna?
Only if the valves come in contact with the pistons,I would replace the belt and check the compression in the cylinders,The engine will miss if there is a bent valve.I have had to replace the timing belt on my wifes car a couple of times with no engine damage after it broke.
If the timing belt broke on a 1998 Mitsubishi eclipse will it bend the valves?
Yes, if the timing belt breaks on a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse, it can cause the engine's valves to bend. This vehicle has an interference engine, meaning that the pistons and valves occupy the same space at different times. When the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves, leading to potential damage. It's important to address timing belt replacements at recommended intervals to prevent such issues.
What damage would occur if a timing belt snapped on an 1999 A4 19 TD?
This is known as an interference engine. In the event of a timing belt failiure, the valves collide with the pistons. This leads to bent valves, possible damage to the valve guides, possible cylinder head damage, & on very rare occasions piston damage as well
How do you tell if timing belt is broken on 2001 Honda?
Engine will not start or run. Whatever you do, do not turn the engine over with the starter. This is an interference engine and if the belt is broke engine damage has already occurred and trying to start the engine will just do more damage. Best thing to do it to remove the cam belt cover and see if it is broken. Another way to identify a broken timing belt is to pull the valve cover and watch the OHC cam or valves while the engine is hand cranked but I would not do this as you can do more damage. Rest assured if you have not replaced the belt in the last 100,000 miles it very well may be broke.
