This does depend on the engine design itself. If it is known as an interferance engine, then it is possible that the pistons can hit the valves if the chain breaks in operation.

Would a slipped timing chain cause engine to sputter?

yes, your timing chain keeps the valves in you engine, opening at the correct times in order for your engine to properly work. when the timing chain is NOT opening the valves at the Right time, the engine will "sputter" or have a rough idle. This is a telltale sin of a wearing chain. I would recommend you replace it as soon as possible so as to avoid your chain slipping, or breaking in your engine. This is NOT a job you can do yourself, unless you are DEAD SET on doing it. It may take you days to finish this, because you must either "tip" or pull out the engine in order to access all of the main components. This is a COSTLY process, as most shops charge around $1000 to change you timing chain. goodluck


How do you know if your timing belt goes out?

If you suspect your timing belt has broken or the teeth have been stripped off of it, the only way to know for sure is to take off you timing belt cover and have a look. Some vehicles had / have interference heads. These vehicles will destroy their own valves if you try to crank them without a timing belt on.

How do you adjust a timing chain on a 3 wheel Honda 200 ATV?

you need a repair manual so you can identify the timing marks so you don`t put it together with the timing off 180.you have to turn the engine over and take the masterlink off the chain then you can remove the head and check the valves and guides and replace the chain.before you attempt this you should do a compression test to see how the rings hold up for compression and for valve leakage.
