In almost every instance yes, there will be damage to the valves and possibly the piston.
Interference, valves can bend when the timing belt breaks.
the ZETEC engine used in the 1999 ZX2 is a non-interference engine. This means that the pistons will not contact the valves when the timing belt breaks. Because of this, the valves will not be bad if the timing belt breaks
an engine where, in the event that the timing is off or if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves and actually do damage.
Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.Yes valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
No. It is a non-interference engine.
Yes. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks, so it is interference.
It is an interference engine, timing belt breaks during engine operation and the valves are going to hit the pistons.
The engine is an interference engine, if the timing belt breaks or slips it will cause damage to the valves and possibly the pistons.
The intake valves can hit the exhaust valves if the timing belt breaks, so yes.
AnswerThe 1.6L is a 4AFE engine, the 1.8L is the 7AFE engine. Everything I have read says these are non-interference so your valves are OK if the timing belt breaks.
