One of the most significant risks associated with a faulty timing belt is the potential for catastrophic engine damage. If a timing belt fails while the engine is running, it can lead to severe internal damage. In interference engines, where the paths of the pistons and valves overlap, a broken timing belt can cause the pistons to collide with the open valves, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, and a complete engine overhaul. This can lead to repairs that cost thousands of dollars, making preventive maintenance a critical step for any machine operator.
