Will the timing belt breakage of the Yuexiang V3 cause valve damage?

If the timing belt breaks, the lighter consequence is valve damage (it will definitely cause valve damage), while the more severe consequence could be cylinder head penetration, piston oil leakage, or even fracture, which are very serious issues. It is recommended not to start the engine and to tow the vehicle to the nearest repair shop. Timing belt replacement interval: Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt every 3 years or after driving approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Effects of not replacing the timing belt: If the timing belt ages, cracks may appear on the surface, accelerating the wear of the belt pulley teeth. This can lead to phenomena such as broken teeth or misaligned teeth, causing the crankshaft and camshaft timing points to misalign. As a result, the ignition timing may become inaccurate, leading to unstable idling, shaking, increased fuel consumption, and poor acceleration. If an aged timing belt is not replaced in time and continues to be used, it may eventually break.
