Most Mitsubishi engines are interference engines so change the timing belt as per factory recommendations.
A 2000 Mazda 626 (4 cyl and V6 engines) has a timing belt.
2.0L* DOHC (1999 & up all models) are interference engines.
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the DOHC and SOHC engines in a 2000 Ford Focus are interference engines * both engines are 2.0 liters in size *
Yes. They all have timing belts in them. If you loose your timing belt, you will loose your engine.
The sohc engines were, the dohc engines are not the above info is wrong ,DOHC is an interference engine on Kia sportages ,i rebuild them all the time, please replace timing belts when specified, damage can be tremendous.
I read that the 96 cavalier is a non interference engine. Best bet is to call a Chevy dealer or autozone might know. Toyota corollas are non interferance engines. Fords with a sohc 2.0 engine are non interferance. Hondas are interference so are Mitsubishi engines, I learned this the hard way.
Most timing belts have a life expectancy of 60K. It can let go with no warning and with some engines (interference engines) it will do serious damage when it does.
All Clio's petrol and diesel of 2000/2001 are listed as being fitted with interference engines.
The 2.0L engine in all zx2's(98-03) are NON-interference engines unless the head has been milled and/or aftermarket cams have been installed...
Unfortunately not. All Hyundai/Kia engines are interference engines. I strongly recommend replacing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. They break and when they do the engine is shot.
