so yea i am about to buy a 2005 kia rio but it has a problem and i have a question ok...wen the timeing belt brake does it bend the valves??

 

[stephen12091985]

it can bend the valves but it dont always bend the valves

 

[brandoz28]

if its an "interference engine" then yes, it will almost always bend the valves when the timing belt breaks

 

[blaster240R]

i'm not a kia tech but if its anything like fords 2.3 engine then if the belt brakes or the crank pulley comes loose then your in big trouble......

 

[dirtyblaster]

it is possible for it to happen... even heard a few horror stories about the pistons or rods when the timing belt broke but thats when they were hauling ass......

my mother in law bought a brand new kia in 2006, she has had to get a brand new one every 6 months for the last 4 years because they keep breaking on her, lucky for her it's still under warranty so she gets them replaced for free

My buddy bought a 95 jetta with low miles on it and was bragging that it would be more reliable than my gmc truck. A week into owning it the tranny started acting up and it turns out there is no dipstick to check fluid. You have to get it on a lift and I guess there is some sort of dipstick for it like a blaster would have on the crank cover I suppose. Ridic..
