According to Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) the 2.3 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a
1989 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine so there should be no valve damage
As far as I know the 2.3 liter DOHC engine in a 2008 Ford Ranger has a timing CHAIN
My experience tells me it is a non interference engine and it is unlikely to have damage.
TAKE A WRENCH AND TURN THE ENGINE VERY SLOWLY. IF IT STOPS TURNING YOU BENT A VALVE.
Very high probability of valve damage. Havent seen one yet that hasn't bent valves when belt broke. hope this helps
Yes, the 1999 Kia Sportage with 2.0L DOHC is an "interference" engine, meaning the valves can hit the pistons if the timing belt broke.
The 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 engine has a no-interference design. This means that?æ there is enough clearance between the piston and the valves. Therefore, when the timing belt fails, no damage will occur to the engine.
if the engine was turning when belt broke most likely tagged one valve, replace belt and compression test ot borescope to view inside cylinders for damage.
A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.
If the engine is an interference design then valve or head damage will occur. Replace the belt, check compression. If compression is bad then it's probably a good indicator that the engine has been damaged.
If your asking because you broke a timing belt and you've replaced it and its not running that well now. you didnt hurt your valves you just need to go over it and check to see if you have the valve timing correct. And to answer your question, it is not an interference motor
YES IT CAN BEND A VALVE WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE VALVE TRAIN NOT MOVING AND THE CRANK IS STILL MOVING CAUSING PISTON TO COME IN CONTACK WITH THE VALVE THAT WAS OPEN
There could be bent and/or broken valves. Possible damage to the cylinder head and valve guides. Could be damage to the top of the piston. Or you could br lucky and nothing happened.
