If the timing belt on a 1.6 astra snaps does it damage the engine?
If the timing belt on a 1.6 Astra breaks, it can damage the engine. It is more likely to damage the engine if it is a timing chain, though. A timing chain is made of metal and a timing belt is made of a heavy duty rubber.
Does a 1993 Honda Civic DX have a timing chain or a timing belt?
Your car has a timing belt. It must be changed every 90,000 miles or it may break resulting in expensive engine damage.
What can a broken timing chain damage?
On an interference engine it can damage the valves, heads, and pistons.
2000 Villager timing belt or chain?
The 2000 Mercury Villager uses a timing belt and has a non-interference engine. Which means that if the timing belt were to break that no engine damage would occur from the valves and pistons hitting each other.
Is the 2001 ford 4.0 liter sohc engine an interference engine?
not gospel but 4.0 sohc engine is an interference major damage if timing chain or timing chain tensioner breaks
Does it mess the motor up when timing chain breaks on a Saturn SC1?
Yes, if the timing chain breaks a valve will hit a piston, causing significant internal damage. The good news is, the timing chain seldom breaks. The bad news is, if YOURS was one of the few that did break, the engine is toast.
Does the 2008 scion xb have a timing chain or belt?
its a chain, and a non-interference (free spinning) engine. which means, in case of a timing chain failure, the valves will clear the pistons and there will be no engine damage
Will the valves be damaged if the timing chain breaks on a 2.2 liter Chevy engine?
If it is a gas engine it has a chain. If it is a diesel, it has a timing belt, and is an interference engine. The belt must be changed every 60,000 miles. It is highly unlikely that the chain will break without prior symptoms, alerting you to the fact that it is worn out. If it did happen to break, it will do no damage to the internal engine as this is not an interference engine. No, but you will be stranded. Chains last a very long time. If you are hearing chain noise or having trouble keeping the engine in time, the chain needs replacing.
On a 1999 SW2 Saturn what kind of symptoms would I see if the timing chain needed replacing?
A timing chain, that needs to be replaced, can cause your engine to run rough and lose power. A broken timing chain can cause significant engine damage.
2002 echo broken timing chain does it damage engine?
Your car has the 1NZ-FE engine featuring VVT-i (variable valve timing with intelligence). This is a non-interference engine, with a timing chain. While a broken chain could cause damage to your engine, it is less likely to cause damage on a non-interference engine, and if the chain is damaged (but not completely snapped) you will often know it because it will make a lot of noise (stop driving it at that point and get the chain replaced). The chain is generally considered good for 250,000 miles unless it begins making noise.
Does a 2005 Toyota Camry 6 cylinder have a timing belt or chain?
It has a timing chain that must be replaced at 90,000 miles. This is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.
Will a timing chain break damage anything internal on a 1988 Lincoln town car?
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.
