john in KY Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Easy repair and valve damage is not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brysawn Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 These motors are non-interference motors. So if the timing is not correct, noting terrible happens (meaning no smashed valves/pistons). I think the car wouldn't run, or run well if the timing was off 1 tooth (correct me if I'm wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 One tooth off would probably make it run with very little power. I did one that was three teeth off on the drivers side, and 180 degrees off on the passenger side (before I learned how to do them properly), and it actually did start.... ran awful, then died and wouldn't restart till I'd fixed the belts. They are non-interference engines, so there's no possibility of damage -- just fix the belt and you're good. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
