If the timing on an engine has jumped 10 teeth, it can cause serious mechanical problems and potential engine damage. The timing belt or chain controls the synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring valves open and close at the correct time during combustion. A slip of even a few teeth can lead to poor performance, misfiring, and hard starting, but a jump of 10 teeth often means the pistons and valves are no longer in sync.
