according to Gates.com the answer is no
no years to far apart
Interference engines are quite common in consumer automobiles, so even though the specific information is harder to find it is still most likely an interference engine.
yes, if it's a 3 cylinder Mr Geo Metro yes, if it's a 3 cylinder Mr Geo Metro
Yes, depending on the years. 1989 - 1997 Geo Metro engines are compatible and 1998 - 2001 Geo/Chevrolet Engines are compatible.
Do you mean interference type or non-interference type? If this is what your asking, it is a non-interference type. this means that the timing belt can brake and no damage to the engine will accur. interference type means that if the belt brakes the pistons can hit the valves and bend and or brake stuff. don't worry about it on a geo metro I had two brake and it just stops running and replacing the timing belt takes 45 min to replace, it's easy. "BUGS"
ACCORDING TO THE CHILTON MANUAL YES. EDIT: According to the manuals and parts description, they say these are interference engines. The SOHC versions are not interference while the rarer DOHC versions are interference engines. Since they are not aware of what engine you are working on, they would rather be safe and tell you it is an interference engine. I would have destroyed at least two of these engines if they were interference. I have changed timing belts and been off a few teeth at first.
if the engines that they came off of are the same it should work
Yes 1litre 3 cylinder.
Yes it will. from 1989 - 1995 all geo metros (as well as Suzuki Swift) had the same engines. As long as they both have the same type of transmission and the same size (1.0) it will fit. Hope this helps.
Yes you can. All Geo Metro engines are compatible from 1989 - 1997. Just make sure that they both have the same transmission or you'll have to do a lengthy and expensive conversion.
If the engines are the same size then yes (ie) 3 cylinder 1.0L to 3 cylinder 1.0L.
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 1.6 liter and the 1.8 liter four cylinder engines used in a 1997 Geo Prizm ( ARE NOT INTERFERENCE ENGINES )
