Piston damage can be caused by detonation, pre-ignition, or excessive heat leading to scoring or cracking. Valve damage can result from improper valve clearance, impact with piston due to incorrect timing, or failure of the valve springs. Both issues can also arise from lack of proper lubrication or cooling.

Is the sorrento engine a noninterference engine?

An interferance engine is typically described as an engine with a valve assembly where, the lowest point of any valve's extension into the cylinder, is lower than the highest point the piston will reach. If valve timings are altered incorrectly or a valve spring breaks, the valve and piston can collide, causing massive damage to the engine.


What causes oil to be in the spark plugs?

Either worn valve guides, worn rings, or a holed or cracked piston.


What causes push rods to bend?

Typically that's because the camshaft is improperly timed. If a piston kisses a valve you'll usually cause serious damage to piston, valve, head, pushrods... all because a valve tried to open at the wrong time. Another possibility would be a seized valve, but that's far more common in engines that have not been used for a long time. I would say ,possibly a bent valve stem. if the engine has run ok in the past. although the above answer may very well be correct.

Will timing belt breaking on 1999 Camry cause valve damage?

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.
