Yes, if the timing belt breaks on a Fiat Punto, it can cause significant engine damage. In interference engines, which many Fiat models use, a broken timing belt can lead to the pistons colliding with the valves, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, or even a ruined engine. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing belt are crucial to prevent such catastrophic failures.
No, the '99 Toyota Camry has a non-interference engine, where the piston and valve path do not interfere with each other. The timing belt breaking will cause your car to stop working, but will not cause valve damage.
yes! new valves etc, will mmost likely need new engine
most snapped timing belts will in most cases cause engine damage,the only exception would be a freewheeling engine were valve to piston contact would be minimal an interference type engine would cause damage.
On an interference engine the pistons can hit the valves. That will cause severe internal engine damage.
wrong timing can cause any engine to over heat. in fact if the timing is off it can cause hundreds of dollars of damage.
On an interference engine the pistons will hit the valves and cause severe internal engine damage.
The engine will turn on the starter, or with a wrench on the end of the crankshaft. However it will not run. If the Timing belt breaks, when the engine is running, this can cause extensive damage to the engine.
It all depends on the engine design. It may do no damage or it may bend valves.
A timing chain, that needs to be replaced, can cause your engine to run rough and lose power. A broken timing chain can cause significant engine damage.
Yes, if the timing belt broke or skipped, the engine won't start.
No, it is a non-interference motor
It has a timing BELT - recommended replacement mileage is 105,000 miles. CAUTION: This engine is an "interference" engine. If the belt fails while the engine is running it will cause major damage to the engine.
