2004 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3ltr alternator bracket broke and the Dodge dealer says you will need to replace timing chain?

Having a piece break off your alternator bracket shouldn't have any impact on your timing chain unless the piece somehow hit it/got stuck, and that seems highly unlikely.

How do you know if valves are bent on a dodge neon?

You should find out if you have an interference engine, if your enging is non-interference then there is no way piston can hit valves and if you do have an interference engine doing a compression test may help figure it out, but if one of the readings is slightly low, you may have a valve that just bent a little. The best way to be certain is to remove them from cylinder head and inspect. If you did smack valves you should also replace the valve keepers and retainers, it is a small price for what can cause a serious engine problem in the future. Answer 2: 1. Vehicle history. A broken timing belt, chain, or some other big timing problem will probably bend the valves. 2. A severe overrev. Downshift to Second i nstead of Fourth, or something similar. Valve control is lost at extreme RPM. Otherwise, valves don't just bend themselves. To check, take off the valve cover, and remove the rocker arms or the camshaft. All of the valve spring retainers should sit at the same height. Use a straightedge. An engine with bent valves usually will not run.


What is the ignition timing spec for a 1996 dodge ram 1500?

The distributor is not timed with a timing light. The distributor rotor is lined up with the mark in the pick up plate when the crank is at tdc#1. The computer then does all timing from there.

Will timing chain break ruin dodge ram 1500 4.7 engine?

It can if the pistons hit the valves while they are open. The timing chain ensures that when the piston is at the op of it's storke the valves are closed. When the chain breaks the cam stops turning allowing the valves to open and close so if the piston is still trying to travel up in the cyclinder with the valves open it will hit them and bend or break them. Also trying to start the engine with the timing change broken can have the exact same result.
