It will do some internal damage ie bent valves being the main one.
Hi I'm just half we through taken a head of a megane 1.4 coupe that had timing belt snapped. It will also cause damage to pistons as well, the amount of damage will be on how fast you was going when it let go but it will have cause damage though. If it has bent valves you may need to check the valve guides as well.
Age or damage from a failed pulley.
yes!!!! if your timing belt is cracked or split, you should get it in asap! if your timing belt has broken the damage done all depends on what happened to break it/what were you doing when it broke? if you were driving when it happened ( not stopped) there will be extensive damage done if your car was on but you were stopped not as much damage.
Your car has a timing belt. It must be changed every 90,000 miles or it may break resulting in expensive engine damage.
No. A 302 or 5.0L is a non interference engine...if that it what it has
Ha yes timing belt breakage in any car can cause damage to the engine... things like bent valves, scored cylinder walls and possible engine failure. That is why the idea is to replace timing belts before they break.
Go to nearest garage. hope this will help.
The 2000 Mercury Villager uses a timing belt and has a non-interference engine. Which means that if the timing belt were to break that no engine damage would occur from the valves and pistons hitting each other.
When a timing belt breaks, it may damage your valves or pistons, due to piston and valve contacted. The best way to confirm damage, is to replace with timing belt, reset the engine and perform a compression check, typical psi should be around 170-200 psi on each cylinder.
If your timing belt were to break while the engine is operating, the camshafts would be out of time with the crankshaft. This 'out of time' would cause the valves to open at incorrect times in regard to the crankshaft/pistons. This break in the timing belt could cause valves to bend or break as well as damage the head itself; pistons could also become damaged in the process.
Because you have a blown bulb. Or you need to check the rear light cluster plugs, take them off and open the little flap (you'll see it) and get a fine point and push the wire connectors a little closer together be sure not to break them , then reassemble.
A broken timing belt on a Ford ZX2 will not damage the engine. The 2.0 ZETEC engine used in the ZX2 is a non-interference engine which means the pistons will not come into contact with the valves should the belt break. Because of this the valves will not be damaged and no engine damage will occur.
It can break with out warning.
