Will it hurt to leave a car battery in the trunk overnight for morning install? Overnight low will be 30.?

oooooooh yes.......... I've seen it quite a few times while doing work experience in a garage (that was like 10yrs ago).......... nothing that usually couldn't be put right with about £750 - £1000 and a week or more in the repair shop (instead of £20 - £50, and not much more than an hour to replace the belt).

How do I get my 1996 mazda 626 motor low enough to remove to crankcase pully?


Basically what happens is that as the timing belt is what makes the shafts (camshaft + crankshaft) that make the pistons + valves go up & down rotate in a sequence they don't end up hitting each other, no longer having that belt there means there's still one or more valves open.......... and as the pistons are still moving up and down........... WHACK! they slap into one or more valves, bending them so they're at an angle, instead of straight........ if you've never seen one, a valve is like metal rod with a disk on the end, and when closed (to stop fuel/air getting in, or combustion gas getting out) they sit flush in a hole (I guess a bit like a counter-sunk woodscrew. Obviously, if the end is bent (and the belt no longer makes them move up & down, due to the fact it has snapped) they can neither sit flush in the hole or allow the fuel/air mix or combustion gases in & out of the engine........ and thus the engine will no longer work properly.

Bust sounds serious, probably just a bent valve or a broken piston, still very expensive. Probably cheaper to get a junkyard engine than repair, makes changing a timing belt sound cheap.

if an engine is an interference engine,yes it will cause damaged to the top end of your engine,mostly on the valves causin it to bent or put a dent in the piston.worst case scenario you need to pull out the cylinder head to perform repair.still would cost a bit of cash to get fix.get it check out and find out if it is worth saving.

no, a lot of damage may occour, if the engine would burst, they would create a mechanism better than a belt .. it only makes sense. make a suggestion to mythbusters
