Need a Spot
I'm wondering if the 3.4L is an interference engine. Can the valves hit the pistons if the timing belt breaks?

thanks

The 3.0 and 3.4 are non-interference.

Thanks for the replies. I'll put the timing belt replacement on the back burner then. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif" alt="" />
