How to close Camry non interference engine valves when opened? I learned that "Engines, chain or belt-driven, can be classified as either free-running or interference, depending on what would happen if the piston-to-valve timing were disrupted. A free-running engine is designed with enough clearance between pistons and valves to allow the crankshaft to rotate (pistons still moving) while the camshaft stays in one position (Several valves fully open). If this condition happen normally, no internal engine damage will result" I know putting the timing belt back on and re-set timing can close the opened valves upon timing disruption. What are the other ways a mechanic close the valves as timing belt snaps (timing disruption)? Thanks for sharing.

The 'camshafts' open and close the valves as they rotate... Not sure what you are asking here (?)! BTW.... Either engine option for that vehicle are both FREE RUNNING ... NON interference!!
Thanks for looking into my question. As the timing disrupt (timing belt snap/break) on NON interference engine, it stops (rotation stops) with few valves open. It protects engine/valve damage. I am asking on this condition, how does a mechanic able to close such opened valves? .
By simply turning the camshafts.... Valves are spring loaded and will close as camshaft is rotated to the correct timing position... No other action is required.
Thanks for your reply. I like to have your insight on following engines animation. http://www.samarins.com/images/engine_animation6b.gif https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O9tfIfwlmz8 Are the above animations for non interference or interference engine? I find 5S-FE engine as DOHC kind. Do all DOHC engines non interference? Does any of the above animation resembles 5S-FE engine? Thanks for guidance.
