It would not be an interference motor with the Montero pistons and Diamante cames. Valve lift is the same for both cams and valve diameters are identical, so there would be no interference. The Diamante SOHC heads are the same as the Montero SOHC heads with the exception of the cams.


That's good to know. I wasn't sure if there was additional lift or not on the Diamante cams (and I was hoping you'd chime in and set me straight <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> ) and as we've all experienced, valves don't always line up with valve notches. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
