The only marine diesel engine using a timing belt that i know of is the VW
based engine. With the compression ratios of diesels I would imagine they are
all interference fit engines. Meaning that the valves open into the space of
where the piston will be at a different point the the cycle. Doug Mountjoysv

Stus-List Timing Belt Has anyone ever experienced an issue with a broken timing
belt in our marine diesel engines?A club member had his break recently and it
destroyed his engine which he choose to replace rather than repair....and not
sure if it actually could be replaced. I'll get more info on the exact type
of engine and the extent of the damage. He said some marine diesel engine
'timing belts' can break but not cause the kind of damage his did.Rob
