#23 of 24 1997 3.2 engine, is timing belt zero tolerance ? by bownarrow Oct 23, 2008 (5:34 pm)
I was told that this engine's timing belt was "zero tolerance" and that meant it wouldn't tear everything else up if it broke. Trying to decide whether to change it or not, records indicate 70K since last changed Replies to this message: atfdmike (Oct 24, 2008 2:17 am)

Replying to: bownarrow (Oct 23, 2008 5:34 pm) The 3.2 is a "non-interference" engine which means if the timing belt goes, there "should" be no damage to the valves or pistons. I think the timing belt interval was changed from 60,000 to 100,000 for your year. HTH. One guys opinion. PS> There is another 3.2 Direct Injected engine that is an Interference engine, but I don't think it was available in 97.
