Default What happens when your timing belt skips

What happens when your timing belt skips and your off by a few marks/ticks?

Does the car stall out when you idle? And is the car hard to start up?

Yep. And you'll lose power...

And all these things could be caused by a kazillion other things, too. What's up? What happened?

What happened? Were you driving the car at the time? Did you go out one morning and it wouldn't start?

on the cam!! one tooth is 11 degrees, i've seen one assembled before like that
and it ran fine but lost a lot of power. any more then that and your valves would hit your pistons. but your belt should NOT slip, they are made with a kevlar core
which hardly strechs over time and not enough to slip a tooth plus there is a tensioner in there too
