SOHC Engine

I heard that the SOHC's with 8.9 compression were not intereferance engines? can anyone vouch for this... I would really like to know... as I am debating over getting the timing belt and all changed... b/c I don't know if it has ever been changed, and with 146k miles, that's really pushinc my luck...

I dont really know what you are tlaking about as a nterference engine, but at 140K I would DEFINTATELY change the timing belt, tensioner, waterpump, oil pump and since you are in there the rear main seal.

SOHC is non interferance.

The timing belt job is pretty easy on a SOHC.

So, I'm not likely to f'up the heads if I time it wrong... b/c I don't need to sink that much more money into the car right now...

Nope. I have seen a few people break there timing belt on the SOHC at high speed and come away with no damage.

Awesome... that may be the next thing I do... then again, I may just wait until that happens... Idk... I'm kinda broke after getting that tranny straightened out... thanks for the info though
