Yes, a broken timing belt can cause significant damage to the engine in a 1999 Mazda Millenia, which has an interference engine design. When the timing belt fails, the camshaft and crankshaft can become misaligned, leading to the pistons striking the valves. This can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, and other serious engine damage, necessitating costly repairs or even a complete engine replacement. Regular timing belt maintenance is crucial to avoid such catastrophic failures.

Yes, a broken timing chain on a 1999 Nissan Frontier can cause the engine to lock up. When the timing chain fails, it can result in the engine's pistons and valves colliding, leading to severe internal damage. This collision can seize the engine, making it inoperable. It's essential to address timing chain issues promptly to avoid such catastrophic damage.
