When the timing belt goes on a Saturn LW2 you will experience catastrophic failure of the engine. What this means is you are looking at the purchase of a entirely new engine. This happened to me at 98,000 miles just prior to the service check that would have replaced my timing belt. I was told by the Saturn dealership that the reason the belt gave way so early was because there was a leak in the water pump which compromised the integrity of the timing belt and the reason this was not spotted at our "every 3,000" check up was that it was in an area that was hard to inspect. $5000 later up and running.
The timing belt goes and the valves bend.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears.If timing chain goes out then the engine will not run.
its very bad for your engine. Change your timing belt ASAP before your engine goes CABOOM
i need to instal the timing belt on a kia rio 2003 how the mark goes
the timing belt is not the same as the serpentine belt.the serpentine belt goes around your water pump pulley and the power steering pump,air condition compressor pulley and the alternator pulley.the timing belt goes around the camshaft and the crankshaft.it is not visable without taking the timing belt cover off.
When a timing belt breaks on any internal combustion engine, the cam can no longer turn. The valves can no longer operate. And the engine stops. You are stuck. You will wait for the tow truck.
Very probable to have bent valves.
If I recall correctly. When a timing belt goes bad it just go...
no
That engine don't have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears and it would crank over real easy/freely.
If you suspect your timing belt has broken or the teeth have been stripped off of it, the only way to know for sure is to take off you timing belt cover and have a look. Some vehicles had / have interference heads. These vehicles will destroy their own valves if you try to crank them without a timing belt on.
Yes.
