will a ford escort run with out a timeing belt or if it has brokeing and i need to put a new one on will it run now with out know problem?

No your escort will not run without a timing belt.
It depends on how and when the timing belt broke to know if there will be any problems. I am not sure, (hopefully someone with more experience with Fords can confirm) but if you were driving when it broke you may very well have bent a valve. This is costly repair.

Depends on what motor not all will have a bent valve. But no your car wont work at all-lol do you know for sure the t belt died?

yes it is done it is dead

4 cylinder

All Escort motor's are non-interferance.

So just put on a new belt.

are you sure that it will work even if it broke on the road

yes just replace it and you proberbly will be ok

No it will not hurt your engine if the timing belt breaks.It happened twice on my 1993.

thanks my step dad said that it might have mess the motor up is this true

2 opinion form someone else

so you are saying that it will be ok to drive with out any else going wrong thanks

if you replace the t belt all should be fine. On other cars (like your step dad said) damage happens.

thanks a lot i will tell him that

The Gt model is an interferance engine (DOHC). The 1.9 is non. (SOHC)

Thank you.

I may be a little late, but it is true that a valve could bend with a broken timing belt, but that is a rare occurance. My ex had a 94 Ford escort sedan that broke a timing belt and I think it bent the valve because it ran like shit afterwards. I was about 3 teeth off from TDC (Top Dead Center) and it ran rough. They took it to the shop to be fixed along with some other things and the car ran the same. I think they did nothing at all to it.

My 93 Wagon had a timing belt break 3 times on it and I placed the came and crank in time with each other.....
IMPORTANT
Make sure you match up the cam and crankshaft with one another before you put the belt on.

Other than that my car still purrs ......oh and do not tighten the tensioner too much
