![]() ![]() Usually you would have to strip down the front of an engine to get the cover off but you don't have to on this engine. One thing I would like to add though, is, it is fairly easy to replace the timing belt on this engine. If they decreased the stroke and lowered the compression these engines would be lucky to make 90hp with all the restriction on them.Įdit: I had only skimmed the other posts (thread mode) so I apologize for restating what was said earlier but I am leaving my comment as is to confirm the earlier post because of the first hand knowledge, I have torn open a blown Dtec to see what could be salvaged after a timing belt broke. You need the Higher compression to achieve more torque lower. ![]() So yeah if the belt breaks your engine is toast, no question about it. If it happens at high RPM (which it usually does) it can break connecting rods and cames. The result is usualy bent, destroyed valves, and holes in the pistons. If you dig into it you will see it listed as a zero clearance engine, what this means is that to achieve a higher compression ratio they extend the stroke of the piston and use a domed piston, this means the distance the valves travels down and the pistons travel up over lap and when the belt breaks and the engine goes out of time they all hit each other violently. Many engines can have the belt or chain brake and everything is fine when you replace it, our engines are not one of these. The only major repairs on Daewoos I ever saw come threw the shop were for engine replacements because of broken timing belts.
