Yes, the Kia 1.6 L motor is generally considered an interference engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt or chain failure, the pistons and valves can collide, potentially causing significant engine damage. It's important to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for timing belt or chain replacement to prevent such issues. Always consult specific model information for confirmation, as engine designs can vary.

Can you put a 16 valve tracker motor in a suzuki samurai and will the intake off the samurai 1.3 motor fit onto the 16 valve tracker motor?

Yes, you can install a 16-valve Tracker motor in a Suzuki Samurai, but it may require some modifications to the engine mounts and transmission compatibility. The intake manifold from the Samurai's 1.3-liter engine may not fit directly onto the 16-valve Tracker motor, as they have different designs and configurations. You'll likely need to use the Tracker's intake or adapt the Samurai's intake to work with the Tracker engine.
