But it certainly does not "NEGATE" the responsibility of the operator to maintain a timing belt as indicated.


No....in fact ALL of the DOHC are non interference, regardless of year...

The only ppl that had "issues" were ppl that had the "changeover" year vehicles with the SOHC engines, mistakenly ID'ed as a DOHC by the year designation (ca 1996?).

The SOHC will not "automatically" self destruct if it has a belt failure (a lot depends on what position the cam was in when the belt let go), but it is FAR more likely than the DOHC engine to get damaged.
