if i remember correctly the 2001 still has an interference engine.....if your timing belt broke you surely pinged some valves.
Parts like, valves/pistons/etc are no longer synchronized when a timing belt breaks. Often belts will stretch to merely "jump time" so parts no longer have the clearance necessary for safe movement.
The sentence should be punctuated as: Patience - it's a virtue not often seen on the freeway at 5:15 pm.
The synchronization of the pistons and valves is lost and they are free to crash into each other inside combustion chambers causing expensive or often fatal engine damage
by 60000 miles,,just trashed my motor the belt broke and i was at 69000,,and almost 3K later i got a new motor
Depends on if the engine is an interference engine or not, and how fast it shut down when the belt broke. Interference in this case means that valve and piston reach can overlap, which very often means that when they fall out of synch they smash into each other. If it's a non-interference engine it's no worries.
Domestic vehicles that utilize solenoids to actuate intake and exhaust valves typically feature variable valve timing (VVT) systems. Examples include certain models from manufacturers like Ford, General Motors, and Honda, which may employ solenoid-controlled mechanisms for improved engine performance and efficiency. These solenoids allow for precise timing adjustments of the valves, enhancing power delivery and fuel economy. Notably, the Ford EcoBoost engines and GM’s Ecotec engines often incorporate such technology.
The error rate is less taht 1%. You should have your valves inspected often.
It depends on the engine and how it's designed. Often an engine is designed with limited clearance between the valves and the piston. When a valve is opened, it is often in the same space that a piston occupies when it's at TDC. If that's the case, a broken timing belt will result in a destroyed engine. Other engines are not engineered to have that kind of compression so the pistons have a recess for the valves. The first type is called an "interference engine", meaning that the valves and pistons would interfere with each other if they're both trying to occupy the same space. The second is NOT an interference engine. Timing belts are a cheap way to build an engine. GOOD engines use timing chains which do not typically fail until the engine is pretty much worn out.
The camshaft is typically located in the engine, either in the cylinder head (overhead camshaft) or in the engine block (cam-in-block configuration). Its primary function is to control the timing of the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. In modern engines, camshafts are often driven by a timing belt or chain connected to the crankshaft.
Duplex valves are often used in seawater applications of valves as they are very corrosion resistant.
A non-interference motor refers to an engine design where the pistons and valves do not occupy the same space at the same time, meaning that if a timing belt or chain fails, the pistons won't strike the open valves. This design minimizes the risk of catastrophic engine damage in the event of a timing failure, allowing for potentially less costly repairs. Non-interference engines are often considered more reliable and easier to maintain compared to interference engines.
There are three main types of valves used for bike tires: Schrader valves, Presta valves, and Woods valves. Schrader valves are the most common and are similar to those found on car tires. Presta valves are thinner and require a separate pump attachment. Woods valves are less common and are often found on older bikes.
