You are FANTASTIC. If I ask my mechanic to replace the engine that I provided, he did not. The car is running, 2k miles so far. What he did w engine I provided. Did he replace the TB and the Head not the whole engine. The trusted Mechanic of 10 years broke the TRUST,
Personally, I say if you have a broken timing belt on an interference engine. Put a new timing belt on the engine and see what happens. Now provided you didn't try to start it back up afterwards then hopefully there is no damage. If you replace it and the car runs then it's a success. If not, well then you got more work to do, but at least you have a new timing belt. As a matter of fact, the timing belt once broke on my grandfather's old 1988 240 and he knew not to start it after that and got it towed to a gas station where they successfully replaced it with no internal damage done. My dad picked him up from that incident as it was right around the corner from our house
Michael Sackstein That only worked because the redblocks with SOHC were non interference engines. you can't damage the valves or pistons by breaking the belt on those.
Michael - I think the 240's engine may not be an interference engine so no damage if the belt goes. Years ago I was on holiday in Spain. I could not start the rental car and a guy in a 240 kindly phoned the rental car place to find the trick (crazy security system). Twenty miles down the road, i found the same 240 immobile by the side of the road. The driver explained that the timing belt had gone. I asked if that meant a new engine but he said no, all it would need was a new timing belt.
Robert DIY hello Robert I had an issue with an 05 Colorado the serpentine belt fell off on the freeway can I just put a new belt on I looked the engine up and it doesn’t say interference engine
LMAO @6:50! "wishing, hoping, praying, guessing" That was totally me until heard him say that. Thanks for the laugh during these Dark Days of Volvo. 2006 S40 Interference engine
Timing belt broke coz of bad tensioner-ran compression test n all were good except 1&2 were low. Pulled head replaced all valves in those cylinders runs like new👍
Hi Robert and thanks for informative video which scared me a little bit. I have Volvo 2004 V40 and the timing belt got contaminated with oil and got loose and both cams jumped on certain position. I took the chance and replaced the timing belt with it's kits after watching your other video and thank God no interference engine and no bent valves. The car started fine but I am having problem installing the old serpentine belt although I followed the routing diagram and tried all possible configuration . Any hint before I buy new drive belt other than the belt got shorting due to cold weather. Thanks
Most will slip on start up, IF your water pump runs under the cams beneath but center both underneath. it may put tension to save it. Mine did. Mine slipped on startup from being old and never serviced and raced a month after I bought it. Mine is a mitsubishi 6g75 v6 with mivec high compression interference engine. I changed the belt out and the car runs better now than it ever has and pulls ridiculously hard now. My cams are farther apart it goes over cam under waterpump over other cam. That tension is what I think saved Mine. Most 4 cyl are different with close cams with nothing to keep tension in between both the belt goes directly over both. If it slips it'll sound like rubber slapping on plastic like mamma beating ya with a belt turn it off immediately!!!!!!!!! Most times it'll happen on startup, or when you go to slow down. It's not cheap, mitsubishi wanted 2K to do mine. YOU HAVE TO DO IT OR GET IT DONE!!!!! like he said it'll ruin your entire car. I did it all myself. If you are stupid or can't follow directions. DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF!!! and do not tear it apart and then send it to a mechanic, that might be worse. I got all my parts thru domestic gaskets in Boston they were a huge help, they took my actual vin for my car specifically and ran it and got exactly what I needed. It was around $220 for everything. LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!!! He knows what he's talking about and will save you money. It's crazy how many people have gone way way over and/or don't even have a clue they have to get this done. If you buy a new used car that has a belt, and not a chain if it hasn't been done, offer less and get it done immediately guys!!!!! It's literally the most important thing on the entire car.
Went to start my 940 b200ft this morning and was met with a very nasty idle switched it off straight away , and i think the timing jumped im hoping it hasnt done damage 🙏
The Tachometer on your dash displays crank speed, not cam speed, if your dash says your engine is doing 2000rpm it means your crank is doing 2000rpm (cams are doing 1000rpm at this engine speed). The gauge does not display cam speed.
Hello Robert First thank you for your Videos! I have a 2002 Volvo XC70 that needed a upper camshaft seal replaced. I changed the seal but didnt know about the tools to keep the cams in place and didnt know about your video at the time. Aligned the marks back up and attempted to start the car once and no go so i stopped. is it time to have the head rebuilt?
What about a 2002 Subaru Legacy wagon. Is it an inteference type? My car was fine and died as I was driving on the hwy. I coasted over to the berm. Towed it to a collision mechanic. He's fixing it by replacing the belt. He said a spark plugs had some oil on it. Called Subaru dealer he said it just needs a new gasket usually the gasket grommets wear out. Praying my car is fixed by tomorrow 🙏
@@RobertDIY It is most definitely, absolutely CRIMINAL, that engines are INTERFERENCE. A very simple 5 mm (or less), notch (depression) on the pistons, would prevent these problems. Or, if the cylinder, was a few millimetres (mm) longer. The cost at a dealer to repair, can easily be $5k, or even a backstreet small garage, will easily charge about $2k, just for labour. My 2009, c180, the timing chain just jumped time, and it wouldn't start now, I checked, the teeth on the timing chain gears were worn down.
@@kristupasantanavicius9093 Maybe you are correct, but I don't understand how. 2 or 3 millimetres clearance, either by making the cylinder a little longer, or making a few notches on the piston head, would make sure, never any 'bent valves'. I bought a timing chain kit for about £200 pounds, replaced just the chain, checked for compression, and it all worked fine. I did all the work myself, after watching numerous videos.

If it stalled on the wife's 1999 v70xc I think she would try to start it.I just did the belt,idler,and water pump on hers which went 120,000 between changes.She has 235,000 on it.It has really terrible cam marks,I was off a tooth and send it to a garage that does them a lot.It cost me 120 dollars more than all the parts I had bought for 250$
Hey Robert, I’m looking at a 98 v70R awd for sale. I have a timing belt go and the seller had tried to crank it since. The cars in great shape otherwise. Where could I find a new head for it, and if I could get one, what else would the car need? Thanks for the helpful video
@@RobertDIY here seems as good a place as any to ask if various parts for the '98-'00 70 series cars are just not feasible overall to get quality versions of, new or used. Namely new parts, e.g fuel pumps for the AWD cars are not made by volvo or any quality maker now, so the Swedish Proparts trash unit is all there is!? 2: is the Awd system really practically refurbishable? seems not at this point due to cost. Driveshaft alone is now 1300$. 3. and most importantly, is the automatic trans, at least in '98 really ever seeing high miles on original if well taken care of? I really have not been seeing that over time with various examples, so i'm really trying to know the transmssion risk in lookng at buying a '98 Awd xc ,for example. ? Thank u Robert for your wide breadth of knowledge and dedication! U really are a car treasure and volvo treasure!
Hello Robert. Ive changed cambelt on volvo c70 2.3turbo 1998. If the timing was out of sync for 1 or 2 tooth. Could it bent valves while cranking the engine as it hasn't started since it has new cambelt. Cylinder pressure goes up to 2.5 bar only
I had barely left a red light when my belt broke. The engine died immediately so is there a chance that my valves weren’t damaged I was probably doing 20-30 miles per hour when it happened
@@RobertDIY 98 S70 T5 Robert. assuming no pistons were damaged, just wondering what a shop would charge. I guess if there's piston damage it's an engine rebuild ? -- thanks, your videos are very helpful.
Hello Robert...Thank you for all of your videos and tutorials that have been very helpful through the years. I have a 2004 XC90 FWD 2.5and the timing belt broke on startup....I had no idea what was wrong at first and tried turning the engine a few times. The belt broke and was not turning the camshafts.....what do I need to do now because I put the a new timing belt on and it wont start?
I did. Okay then...as a DIY...can I do the whole valve repair and change the head gasket myself?! I do have good mechanical sense, I just wonder if this is something that can...or should not...be undertaken. I have not done a compression test yet...does it matter? I have not done a leakdown test yet...does it matter? Could the non-start be because my crankshaft timing might be off a tooth or two?----even with bent valves, shouldnt the car start and just run rough? Could a completely clogged PCV system cause the non-start? Could really fouled spark plugs cause the non-start? I know I am asking A LOT....I can not tell you how invaluable your videos have been for me...and any help ius very much appreciated. Thank you
you tossed the timing belt, it's over. You can do all the test you'd like, it won't fix the bent valves. Yes, this job is done by men so yes you can do it. However, you will need a shop to do the head work because the solid lifters require adjustment.
Hi robert I have ahyandai santafe 2001 My water pump was leaking and a friend of mine took it all apart im not sure what he did I went to go and put the timing belt on and the inside camshaft (closet to th passenger side) is of by 8 or 9 teeth in the direction towards the engine (has not been started since originally taken apart) so i know tha t it hasnt bent the valves or pistons How do i get the camshaft back to top dead center other camshaft is on the marks so is the crankshaft
so i was loosening the 30mm bolt with the engine off to change the timing belt and i had the belt still on the crank and the camshaft and they moved after i already marked the camshafts i forgot to mark the crankshaft i had my engine cover off so they moved out of the engine and i ended up taking the camshafts off what should i do. i also have a video before i removed them off should i try and line it up with the video? its just bad quality
Great vid Robert! Question: Honda K24 (interference), chain, was really cold (-25C), next day was 0C, started, run terrible but moved, vacuum fucked (power brakes were not power anymore); likely result of poor oil change practice during covid/ran low on oil a couple times.....my fault..... Could I be not totally fucked? Would it run at all if I did ruin the valves/head? Any good methods to find out if I am fucked if above info is insufficient? Much love eh :)
@@RobertDIY @Robert DIY chain, and no, it still starts and runs (barely).....can move under its own power (barely, but enough to drive get up onto a tow dolly), needs ample throttle to not stall, cant make it over 4k rpm, vacuum is fucked (power brakes no longer powered, requires lots of leg muscle to get it to brake). Was driven about a couple km at first as I thought it might be a bad brake booster leaking vacuum and causing the issue... I was wrong, lol PS wow that was a quick response! I really appreciate that, and being willing to help at all.... much love :)
Robert DIY ok the fuel spark is there i just didnt align the cams back is that part important to align cams to tdc what if you just put a belt on the cams in the wrong postion will that stop the car from starting
hi, great video learned a lot about timing belt issue!! have a question have a 2005 honda oddessy were water pump broke, vehicle overheated and shutdown. was in exit lane on the parkway with stop and go turn back drove 2 blocks to side street put water in radiator smoked immediately, let cool off then drove to auto shop one block away. they told me the water pump was leaking which I saw, the car needed the whole timing belt job and no guaranteed engine maybe bad!!! picked up cat today when in idles stats shaking VSA and engine come on and then car shuts off. When on parkway and driving car runs fine up to 60 miles per hour no issue again in local traffic car shakes and idles terrible and sometimes no power when I step on the gas and car shuts off. VSA comes on just before very intermittent?? is engine shot??? not and interference engine vehicle has 150,000 miles Help!!
Well, the timing belt did not come loose, just the water pump was leaking. You did overheat the car so you need to test it for a blown head gasket. Really the mechanic should have done that before replacing the timing belt parts. Is the CEL on?
Serpentine belt broke. The car is trying to start, but won't. 04 S40. I've seen on the web where a mechanic fixed an engine to where the timing belt was installed wrong. They didn't replace the head, they reset the timing belt and the car started. Can you answer how that was possible? I've learned a lot from you Sir and some of the other great people her. Thank you so much.
Hello sir. How do i contact you ? I have some questions about how to get the crank to tdc. I can not see the marking on the crank. The head is of of the engine. I have Been told it is when the piston nr 1 is at tdc
I have a 2005 ls430 Lexus with 225k and my Timing belt broke I'm going about 5 to 15 mph down the side of the road... Show a be best for me to buy a new motor or look into the vowels fix.. help me
Actualy the rpm is the rpm of the crank shaft. Not the cam shaft . So if thr engine idles at 1000rpm the crank is going around at 1000rpm. And the cams are going at 500rpm not cam at 1000 and crank at 2000. Good video otherwise. I realy like your stuff
My honda broke its belt running down the street. put a new belt in and the thing runs right with same power. Mines is a four cyl interference engine so I put a belt on which I know how to do and cost me 25 bucks and I lucked out. With four cyl cars it is often likely the car will run after you change the belt that broke. 6 cyl and above I do not know but my honda runs fine. 25 bucks. He is absolutely right about cheap parts tho. You will wreck your engine in order to save 60 or 80 bucks. Dont do it.
960? If the worst were to happen, which would probably cost less - To get an engine from a smashed car at the breaker's yard and have the garage install it? - Have the garage rebuild the head?
Strange things are afoot. I am doing a timing belt replacement on our 1996 non turbo sedan with '55' VIN. The engine ran fine this is just routine replacement. The camshaft timing marks are set straight up. There are only cam gear indentations (painted) at 12 o'clock when the crank is set to its mark. The top inner timing cover has the inner angled cutouts in it but there is also white paint on it at 12 O'clock. I do not understand how it ran so well and got such great mileage for the last 60k set this way.. or if this is just the way this one goes together. Afaik, it is stock and there are no other marks on the gear teeth. Things that make you go hmmm. :D Just thought I would post this before I set and release the tensioner. It will get 720° of crank rotation of course prior to starting. photos.app.goo.gl/PjAxHnioQMZYsr9V6
@@RobertDIY stronger made chains. Belts r a lot cheaper 2 make & weaker. U dont have 2 replace waterpump the belt tensioners pulls etc. Like a timming chain car lot less matainance. & better insurance with a chain. As long as u keep ur car in good order.

does anybody know, what should it cost to have the head rebuilt? I may have tried to start with a broken belt.
I don't even know what kind of car you have.
@@RobertDIY 98 S70 T5 Robert. assuming no pistons were damaged, just wondering what a shop would charge. I guess if there's piston damage it's an engine rebuild ? -- thanks, your videos are very helpful.
Is that conceded cranking

Hello Robert...Thank you for all of your videos and tutorials that have been very helpful through the years.
I have a 2004 XC90 FWD 2.5and the timing belt broke on startup....I had no idea what was wrong at first and tried turning the engine a few times. The belt broke and was not turning the camshafts.....what do I need to do now because I put the a new timing belt on and it wont start?
Did you watch the video?
th-cam.com/video/-2oIeIhpV44/w-d-xo.html
I did. Okay then...as a DIY...can I do the whole valve repair and change the head gasket myself?!
I do have good mechanical sense, I just wonder if this is something that can...or should not...be undertaken.
I have not done a compression test yet...does it matter?
I have not done a leakdown test yet...does it matter?
Could the non-start be because my crankshaft timing might be off a tooth or two?----even with bent valves, shouldnt the car start and just run rough?
Could a completely clogged PCV system cause the non-start?
Could really fouled spark plugs cause the non-start?
I know I am asking A LOT....I can not tell you how invaluable your videos have been for me...and any help ius very much appreciated.
Thank you

you tossed the timing belt, it's over. You can do all the test you'd like, it won't fix the bent valves. Yes, this job is done by men so yes you can do it. However, you will need a shop to do the head work because the solid lifters require adjustment.
Hi robert I have ahyandai santafe 2001 My water pump was leaking and a friend of mine took it all apart im not sure what he did I went to go and put the timing belt on and the inside camshaft (closet to th passenger side) is of by 8 or 9 teeth in the direction towards the engine (has not been started since originally taken apart) so i know tha t it hasnt bent the valves or pistons How do i get the camshaft back to top dead center other camshaft is on the marks so is the crankshaft
bring it by and I'll check it out.
Who said that it is timed marked at TDC?
I got a 99S80 Volvo and my serpentine belt popped I put another belt on it now its not cranking up what to do
Not cranking or not running?
th-cam.com/video/YiPAPu-K8OI/w-d-xo.html
interference engen it a death trap
Not really.
so i was loosening the 30mm bolt with the engine off to change the timing belt and i had the belt still on the crank and the camshaft and they moved after i already marked the camshafts i forgot to mark the crankshaft i had my engine cover off so they moved out of the engine and i ended up taking the camshafts off what should i do. i also have a video before i removed them off should i try and line it up with the video? its just bad quality

Great vid Robert!
Question: Honda K24 (interference), chain, was really cold (-25C), next day was 0C, started, run terrible but moved, vacuum fucked (power brakes were not power anymore); likely result of poor oil change practice during covid/ran low on oil a couple times.....my fault.....
Could I be not totally fucked?
Would it run at all if I did ruin the valves/head?
Any good methods to find out if I am fucked if above info is insufficient?
Much love eh :)
Did the belt break?
@@RobertDIY @Robert DIY chain, and no, it still starts and runs (barely).....can move under its own power (barely, but enough to drive get up onto a tow dolly), needs ample throttle to not stall, cant make it over 4k rpm, vacuum is fucked (power brakes no longer powered, requires lots of leg muscle to get it to brake).
Was driven about a couple km at first as I thought it might be a bad brake booster leaking vacuum and causing the issue... I was wrong, lol
PS wow that was a quick response! I really appreciate that, and being willing to help at all.... much love :)
not all the times i had two subaru wrx broken timing belt replace no problem
Did you watch the video?
Ok the serpentine belt is turning just not starting
So it's cranking.
Hey Robert if your belt breaks and you put the belt back on and not set the timing back to tdc will it still start
Man, have you watched the video at all?
Robert DIY no on a non interference engine
Probably not. Timing is one thing you need for a car to start and run. Air/Fuel/Compression/Timing/Spark.
Robert DIY ok the fuel spark is there i just didnt align the cams back is that part important to align cams to tdc what if you just put a belt on the cams in the wrong postion will that stop the car from starting
It depends on what kind of car it is. Most newer cars are NOT timed to TDC.
hi, great video learned a lot about timing belt issue!! have a question have a 2005 honda oddessy were water pump broke, vehicle overheated and shutdown. was in exit lane on the parkway with stop and go turn back drove 2 blocks to side street put water in radiator smoked immediately, let cool off then drove to auto shop one block away. they told me the water pump was leaking which I saw, the car needed the whole timing belt job and no guaranteed engine maybe bad!!! picked up cat today when in idles stats shaking VSA and engine come on and then car shuts off. When on parkway and driving car runs fine up to 60 miles per hour no issue again in local traffic car shakes and idles terrible and sometimes no power when I step on the gas and car shuts off. VSA comes on just before very intermittent?? is engine shot??? not and interference engine vehicle has 150,000 miles Help!!
Well, the timing belt did not come loose, just the water pump was leaking. You did overheat the car so you need to test it for a blown head gasket. Really the mechanic should have done that before replacing the timing belt parts. Is the CEL on?

@@RobertDIY hi, thanks Robert not sure what CEL is?? only the VSA light and engine light comes on before car shutdown on low stop or low idle!!
got it check engine light yes is working and on
All bad I just broke my timing belt wheel on my Acura Integra 2001 and was running it for 2 mins that motor is all done I bet (oct2)
ouch
put in a new belt and wp, and see what happens, you may get lucky
What happens if the timing is off, but belt did not break?
No difference.
Serpentine belt broke. The car is trying to start, but won't. 04 S40.
I've seen on the web where a mechanic fixed an engine to where the timing belt was installed wrong. They didn't replace the head, they reset the timing belt and the car started. Can you answer how that was possible? I've learned a lot from you Sir and some of the other great people her. Thank you so much.
+stillwalking64 what kind of car was it? Not all cars have interference engines.
Robert DIY same problem 2000 s80 serpentine belt broke while driving tow home won't start should i just replace serpentine belt.
@@RobertDIY i have 1995 Lexus ls 400
Hello sir.
How do i contact you ? I have some questions about how to get the crank to tdc. I can not see the marking on the crank. The head is of of the engine. I have Been told it is when the piston nr 1 is at tdc
The car is a V50 2.4 petrol

that is correct my friend, turn cam with socket and u will get there
So well it be best to get a new motor?
New head on most cars.
I have a 2005 ls430 Lexus with 225k and my Timing belt broke I'm going about 5 to 15 mph down the side of the road... Show a be best for me to buy a new motor or look into the vowels fix.. help me
Are you going to do it yourself or have a mechanic do it?
A mechanic
Then you should do what they suggest.
interference engen its over great must know sence im in market 4 used toyota ..thanks soo..
Ouch!
Actualy the rpm is the rpm of the crank shaft. Not the cam shaft . So if thr engine idles at 1000rpm the crank is going around at 1000rpm. And the cams are going at 500rpm not cam at 1000 and crank at 2000.
Good video otherwise. I realy like your stuff
Thanks for the info
Thank you sir, I believe that rubber timing belts and interference designs are some of Satan's evil... 🤷♂️
😆🤦🏾♂️
💯👌
Thanks
My honda broke its belt running down the street. put a new belt in and the thing runs right with same power. Mines is a four cyl interference engine so I put a belt on which I know how to do and cost me 25 bucks and I lucked out. With four cyl cars it is often likely the car will run after you change the belt that broke. 6 cyl and above I do not know but my honda runs fine. 25 bucks. He is absolutely right about cheap parts tho. You will wreck your engine in order to save 60 or 80 bucks. Dont do it.
Good for you.
Volvoes what your vidio was about
+Wayne Ash any vehicle with an interference engine.
960?
If the worst were to happen, which would probably cost less
- To get an engine from a smashed car at the breaker's yard and have the garage install it?
- Have the garage rebuild the head?
Man, I believe a head rebuild would be cheaper. They probably have used valves to install.
Both
Interesting
Hey rob I have a question about my volvo 850 how can I reach you faster?

1995 honda odyssey ex mileage 295,431 miles timing belt broke on hwy . Rip or do leakdown. Leani g towards rip.
If it's an interference engine, RIP.
All Honda engines are interference except 3.0L & 3.2 which are Non-interference.

Yes ive work on 4 interfirenceand put a bet kit on and bein lucky its not definet that the engaine is fried
On what kind of cars?
Strange things are afoot. I am doing a timing belt replacement on our 1996 non turbo sedan with '55' VIN.
The engine ran fine this is just routine replacement. The camshaft timing marks are set straight up. There are only cam gear indentations (painted) at 12 o'clock when the crank is set to its mark. The top inner timing cover has the inner angled cutouts in it but there is also white paint on it at 12 O'clock.
I do not understand how it ran so well and got such great mileage for the last 60k set this way.. or if this is just the way this one goes together. Afaik, it is stock and there are no other marks on the gear teeth.
Things that make you go hmmm. :D Just thought I would post this before I set and release the tensioner. It will get 720° of crank rotation of course prior to starting.

Someone may have pulled the camshafts or failed to mark the cams.
Ur better off with a timing chain than a timing belt. In a interference engine.
why
@@RobertDIY stronger made chains. Belts r a lot cheaper 2 make & weaker. U dont have 2 replace waterpump the belt tensioners pulls etc. Like a timming chain car lot less matainance. & better insurance with a chain. As long as u keep ur car in good order.
In good order? I see people paying lots of money servicing timing chains.
@@RobertDIY well they must buy a car with a stupid designed engine. 2 hav 2 service a timming chain. Lol.
Not true some belt broke on interference engine but there Valve didn't bent l😅
interesting. So we're going to go with the 2% chance?
@@RobertDIY maybe 5 percentage ok
FUCK ! smh... Just like that 😩🤦🏿♂
Yep, took a while but the end is horrible
Volvo succs
especially if the timing belt breaks.
Watch Eric the car guy, Don't listen to this armature. Trust me
Thanks for the tip. ;)
If the belt snaps or comes lose and you try to crank it, It won't crank, The starter motor will just spin. Fact
FALSE.
