Can you rebuild an interference engine?
Repair options depend on the damage. If the pistons and cylinders are damaged, the engine must be rebuilt or replaced. If valves are bent, but there is no other damage, replacing bent valves and rebuilding the cylinder head, as well as replacing the timing belt/chain components might be enough.
Is the 6G74 an interference engine?
Diesel engines were not an option, even in Canada. They continued to be sold beyond 2004 (unlike the US) and were available with the 2.4L 4G69 I4, 3.0L 6G72 V6, and 3.5L 6G74 V6, all of which are petrol. All three engines are interference engines with the 3.0 and 3.5 being 24-valve and the 2.4L being a 16-valve engine.
What engines are non-interference engines?
Put simply, in a non-interference engine, when the piston is at top dead center (TDC), it will never go higher than a fully open valve; that is, the piston can never “interfere” with the valves. Conversely, in an interference engine, the piston could occupy the same space as an open valve.
What happens if a timing belt breaks on a non-interference engine?
But what will happen if the timing belt breaks in a non-interference engine? A non-interference engine won’t suffer any damage, but it will stop running. This is because in a non-interference engine, the pistons won’t collide with open valves.
Which engines are non-interference?
The non-interference engine list includes the following: GM Non-Interference Engines: 2.0L Non-Interference, 1.4L Non-Interference, 1.6L (LeMans) Non-Interference, 1.6L SOHC (Nova) Non-Interference, 1.6L DOHC (Nova) Non-Interference, 2.3L Non-Interference, 3.4L Non-Interference, etc.
Which engines are non interference?
What happens if a timing belt breaks on a non interference engine?
In a non-interference engine, a timing belt break will simply stop the engine. Because the ballerinas never cross paths, it doesn’t matter that one isn’t dancing to the same tune. The piston won’t contact the valve, and the worst you can expect is to re-time the engine and replace the timing belt.
Is the 6G72 an interference engine?
The Mitsubishi 3.0L 6G72 IS an Interference engine.
What happens when timing belt breaks on interference engine?
If a timing belt breaks while driving in an interference engine, the camshaft stops turning leaving some of the engine valves in the open position. The heavier crankshaft will continue rotating by inertia, moving pistons up and down. This will cause the pistons to strike the valves that left open.
Does a Toyota have an interference engine?
While many of Toyota’s models are freewheeling, several feature interference engines. Whether a Toyota has an interference engine or not depends on which engine Toyota put in the vehicle.
Is your car engine interference or non-interference?
The following list will provide you the information on whether your car engine is an interference engine or a non-interference engine. An interference engine is one that has insufficient clearance between the valves and pistons if the cam stops turning due to a broken timing belt. The result is usually catastrophic engine failure.

What are the engine codes for a Honda interference engine?
All Honda cars from 1984 through 1996 have interference engines. The engine codes include ES2, ES3, A18A1, A20A1 and A20A3 in the 1984 through 1989 Accord and Prelude. The engine could be a 1.8- or 2.0-liter engine. From 1990 until 1997, the Accord and Prelude used a 2.2-liter engine with an engine code of F22A1, F22B1 or F22B2.
