According to Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) the 1.8 L and 1.9 L engines in a
1992 Ford Escort are NOT interference engines , so apparently no
Yes. If the timing belt breaks severe damage will occur
Nope, no damage... other than a tow bill ; )
No, this is an interference engine. You will have severe engine damage if the belt breaks.
Yes, if the timing chain breaks a valve will hit a piston, causing significant internal damage. The good news is, the timing chain seldom breaks. The bad news is, if YOURS was one of the few that did break, the engine is toast.
The Ford Motor Company made the Ford Escort zx2 2.0 motor, a "non interferance engine" meaning when the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage your engine components. -Antwon00
120,000 miles or when it breaks since it is not an interference motor, so it won't do any damage.
if by "interference fit" you're asking if the engine will bend valves and damage the cylinder head if the timing belt breaks, and this is the honda d16 series engine, then yes, if the timing belt breaks, or jumps too far out of time, then you will have at least 4 bent valves...
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
Damage is only done if the motor is an "interference" design. ie the valves and the pistons overlap in the same place, only kept from colliding by the timing chain. When the timing chain breaks on a interference design, valves and pistons smash together. If it's not an interference design, the pistons and valve won't come into contact if the timing chain breaks, so odds are no internal damage done.
If the timing belt breaks, the valves get bent immediately.
There shouldn't be any damage to the motor. Older ones would bend the valves in the head, but that would be 1986 and earlier 1.8L. New timing belt, and should be alright.
No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.No, it is interference. Valves can bend if the timing belt breaks.
