Jeffery,
Thank you for the explanation. I have a Yanmar 2GMF which I will
assume then is a non-interference engine.
Any idea when the timing belt should be changed.....e.g. number of
engine hours or overall age of the belt?

Some engines are deemed interference engines wherein the pistons
occupy the same space as an open valve. If the timing belt brakes, the
pistons become out of sync with the valve train and havoc ensues. With
non-interference engines, it’s just a major inconvenience.

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.
