Can a broken timing belt be removed on an interference engine?
Don’t do this on interference engines unless you’re sure the belt is still intact. If you have not already bent your valves with a broken timing belt, you will likely do so if you spin the crankshaft without the camshaft spinning. Determine if the harmonic balancer pulley needs to be removed to remove the timing belt cover.

Which is part of the engine does the timing belt control?
A timing belt, sometimes also known as a cam belt, is a part that connects an engine’s crankshaft to the camshaft. It controls the opening and closing of the engine’s intake and exhaust valves at specific times and for specified durations by supplying the rotational power of the crank to the cam, which physically moves the valves up and down.
How do you replace the timing belt on a Hyundai Elantra?
Remove the Timing Belt and Pulleys Unbolt and remove the Timing Belt Tension Pulley (left side of the engine). Using a box wrench, slightly move clockwise (1 degree) the Camshaft Pulley and remove the belt. This slight advance in the camshaft will allow some belt slack to ease new belt installation.
Can a timing belt be replaced with a water pump?
