as long as you don't turn the engine over after the timing chain breaks everything will be fine. when it snaps some valves may stay open, so in turn if you crank the engine a piston could slam into a valve and get damaged.
On an interference engine the pistons can hit the valves. That will cause severe internal engine damage.
No start, internal engine damage.
If the timing belt snaps on a 2.5 Transit diesel, a secondary issue may be valve damage. When the timing of the engine is off, it throws the internal components out of whack.
On older 300ZX's equipped with a timing belt it will cause internal engine damage if the belt breaks as they are interference engines.
Car wont run & on interference engines there will be serious internal engine damage.
Yes, internal engine damage can occur if the timing belt breaks.
It can. It just depends where the parts are when it breaks.
Serious internal engine damage will occur.
The 1.8L is not an interference engine, so you should not have internal damage. The 2.0L is an interference engine. Internal engine damage is likely.
On an interference engine the pistons will hit the valves and cause severe internal engine damage.
Possible internal timing system problem.Possible internal timing system problem.
could cause internal damage to valves and or pistons !
