    Possible bent valves?

    Okay so my timing belt started skipping teeth. How likely is it that my valves are bent?

    It depends on how many teeth...

      Do a compression test, if your valves are bent you will know it. And I would cease and desist on the driving activities until it is re belted. And if you get too many teeth off you will know it to, it will sound like someone threw Iron Gremlins in your engine.

        How do you know its skipped teeth??

        unfortunately if its far enough out (more than 3 teeth) so that you notice something is wrong then im afraid its already too late
