The 6a13tt engine found only in the Mitsubishi galant/legnum VR4 is an interference engine, If the cam belt snaps the valves can com in contact with the top of the pistons. ClubVR4.com is a get resource for information on the 8G VR4 it is all on that site.

It IS an interference engine , according to the Gates website
2.0L* DOHC (1999 & up all models) are interference engines.
The engine is an interference engine, if the timing belt breaks or slips it will cause damage to the valves and possibly the pistons.
The 2 liter Dodge Avenger Engine is an interference engine.
Yes. The only dodge caravan engine that is non-interference is the 3.0L V6.
IF the belt breaks, the valves can hit each other and bend. It is interference.
Yes it is. http://www.toyoland.com/cars/tercel.html DOHC engines are generally going to be interference.
A dual overhead cam (DOHC) engine can be either an interference or non-interference engine, as the design of the engine's timing and valve clearance determines this classification, not the camshaft configuration itself. Interference engines have tight tolerances where the pistons and valves can collide if the timing belt or chain fails, while non-interference engines have enough clearance to prevent such collisions. Therefore, one cannot determine the interference nature of an engine solely based on it being a DOHC; one must refer to the specific engine design.
According to the Gates website , both the SOHC and DOHC engines used in a 1999 Ford Escort ( are interference engines )
