TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE VERIFICATION INFORMATION

TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE CAUTION

NOTE: CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELTS OR TIMING BELTS - The condition of

camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles

which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some

manufacturers do not recommend replacement at a specified

mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A

camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to

internal engine components on most engines, although some

designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs

are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed

their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980’s to

reflect timing belt inspection and/or replacement at

50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules shown in

this section reflect these changes. Belts or components

should be inspected and replaced if any of the following

conditions exist:

* Crack Or Tears In Belt Surface

* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth

* Oil Contamination

* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners

* Incorrect Tension Adjustment

(1) - Other interference engine applications may exist which

are not indicated here.

(2) - Interference engine. Check for possible damage to

piston(s) or valve(s) if there has been a timing belt

failure.

(3) - Although the vehicle manufacturer does not recommend a

specific scheduled maintenance interval, aftermarket

belt manufacturers suggest the belt be replaced at

60,000 mile intervals.

(4) - Vehicle manufacturer recommends replacing all belts at

the same time.
