1997 plymouth grand voyager v6 3.0L broken alt. belt caught and caused broken timing belt, will it cause valves problem. Thx
HI... I HAVE A 1990 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER VAN 3.0 ENGINE..MY TIMING BELT WENT STANDING AND IDILING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT..I WANTED TO KNOW COULD I HAVE BENT THE VALVES ON THE ENGINE,, IS THIS MOTOR A INTERFERENCE MOTOR,,I DONT WANT TO DO ALL THIS WORK IF THE VALVES ARE BENT....THANKS
I had the same thing happen, No, I was told this is not one of the engines that allows the piston to contact the valves. I replaced the timing belt 2 years ago and had no valve problems.

Make a drawing of where the belt and pulleys are before you remove the belt. You won't need a diagram,you will have made your own and be done before you ever find one,unless you have a shop manual already.

first, try smacking the hood at one of the front corners while someone else pulls the release handle. or even after you've pulled on it. if that works, once open, adjust and lubricate the hood latch assembly. if it still won't open, and it's the cable and not the latch you'll have to replace it anyway, so instead of removing the grill, cut the cable behind the pull lever under the dash where you can reach it. then skin the outer cable insulation away from the actual steel cable exposing an inch or two of it. then holding the insulation and plastic housing with pliers, grab the steel cable itself with pliers and pull it to open the hood. then replace the cable. the further you can reach up under the panel the better your chances of getting past the broken part of the cable and avoid removing the grill. you might also be able to gain access from up under the car if you're lucky.
