timing belts
This is a copy of a note I sent my friend, can anyone give me an answer on the belt Hi Gerri, Now another problem popped up Lynn's sonata only 50K on it stripped the teeth on the timing belt, its in the shop in Riverhead. Could you Ask Rob if its possible that being the motor is the kind that bends valves when the timing belt fails, yet they told me she would have to be going 70MPH for that to happen, ask Rob if this is true and Email me back Thanks Ron----- Original Message ----- is it rue:help
To TENKAWA,Yes I agree with you about that, could it be that because the belt didnt snap apart and only a few teeth were missing, it jumped timing and nothing else was damaged, or is this a just lucky? Thanks from Ronnie for your logical answer.:helptenkawa_akito wrote:i have yet to see a modern engine that was not an interference motor. if she threw her timing belt off, she probably bent something.
