What happens when time belt breaks and does automatically destory motor in a 91 acura?
It depends on engine type I guess, you just have to replace the timing chain and then your good in a non-interference design from what i’ve researched. NOTE: Timing belts are used in two types of engines designated “interference” and “non-interference”. If the timing belt breaks on a non-interference design, there is enough clearance between the pistons and valves to prevent damaging contact. An interference design does not have sufficient clearance between those parts and engine damage would result from a broken timing belt. This list notes whether engine damage would result if the belt should break. For vehicles not listed, I recommend replacement at 60,000-mile intervals. Breakage is not the only reason to replace your timing belt. Looseness and wear will allow the timing belt to slip and change valve timing resulting in very poor performance, a no-start condition, or engine damage. The 91-04 NSX and 96-99 SLX have non-interference engines. All other acuras (Integra, Legend, Vigor,
