If it is the 2.5 then it is an interference engine . If it is the 3.5 then it is a on interference engine.
is the 2005 pathfinder protected with non interference engine
The VG30E motor is an interference motor, with 0 valve clearance.
It is an interference engine according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. )
The Villager engines are NOT interference engines, even though some catalogs claim they are. The reason is that it is a Nissan engine, and the Nissan versions are interference, the Mercury ones are not.
According to the history of the Nissan Quest Vg30e engine from 1993 thru 1998 these group of engines were non-interference engine, so if the belt breaks it will not damage the valves. This feature was demanded by FORD from Nissan before FORD agreed to used this engine in their ViLLAGER and Nissan Quest vans in the time of their joint venture.
The Villager is NOT an interference engine. This is straight from a guy who was engineering liaison between Ford and Nissan on this project. The catalogs that say it is are WRONG.
