If the timing is too high on an engine it causes the gas/air mixture to pre-ignite before the piston gets to top-dead-center. All the valves are closed at this time, causing an excessive amount of heat to be stored in the cylinder walls. And the same applies if the timing is too low, but it does it after the piston has passed top-dead-center, and the engine usually runs worse.
The engine will overheat and the pistons will seize.
wrong timing can cause any engine to over heat. in fact if the timing is off it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.
There is a warning light which flashes when the engine begins to overheat.
have the engine timing checked. if the timing is wrong the engine will overheat, are you loosing coolant?is the fan working, is the water pump working?
if the timing belt becomes streched, it changes the relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. Which will in turn effect the valve timing and engine performance. That is why many engines use automatic tensioners to prevent this from happening
Yes, a bad timing chain can contribute to engine overheating. If the timing chain is worn or stretched, it may cause the engine's timing to be off, leading to inefficient combustion and increased heat production. Additionally, if the engine runs poorly due to timing issues, it can put extra strain on components like the water pump, further exacerbating overheating problems. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing chain are crucial to prevent such issues.
The answer will depend on what engine it is and what it is being required to do.
The timing belt effects your camshaft timing, and in some engines your ignition timing (if the distributor or crank trigger runs off a pulley driven by your timing belt). Directly, your timing belt has no effect on your shifting. However, variances in camshaft timing will make your engine run differently and that MAY effect at what point the transmission shifts.
i had a 106 and the timing belt came loose , it came off and wrecked the timing of the engine causing it to destroy its self . i presume it will be the same effect if it did snap .
No, but faulty water pump or thermostat can.
It will overheat the engine
Absolutely, a badly timed engine can run like a heap of S--t
