Want this question answered?
the timing belt on my 2003 galant broke while i was driving and i had it replaced by the dealer. they said it's possibility for the valves to bend. I had no problems after my timing belt was changed Tony
Every 60,000 miles
The timing belt goes and the valves bend.
Specifically, where and what do I do to tension either belt? Thanks!
You did not indicate the year your Galant 3.0L was produced. I looked up a 2001 model Galant LS 3.0L, and yes, it is an interference engine. Replace the timing belt AND water pump every 100,000 miles or kiss the valves goodbye.
The 2.4 liter - 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter - V6 engines in a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant are both INTERFERENCE ENGINES , according to Gates ( they make timing belts etc . )
On the 2.4L the intake valves can hit the exhaust valves and bend.
Yes, it can bend valves when a timing belt breaks.
it is the belt by the alternator belt
Remove the drive belts, crankshaft pulley, and timing covers. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft and r+r the belt
VAlves are fine it will not bent valves
