Hey...is there a Resident Expert here? In the Toyota group we are fortunate to have 2 MDTs and a former Factory Rep, and in the Chrysler/Dodge group there is also an MDT.
But, I digress. I bought a 1989 Mazda 626 today, and the most burning question I have right now is, is the 2.2 Liter engine Interference? We don't know when the timing belt was changed...if ever, and I'd hate to blow an engine over a $25 belt!
Thanks!
It is an interference engine. Go here and click on "Timing Belt Replacement Guide"

Thanks.
I actually found that out by going to AutoZone and looking up the parts I need. When I came to the timing belt it had a note, Interference Engine.
I used to work at CarQuest, and we would get that information on our parts screen when we would look up the belts. Thank Autozone for making this public!
No problem. I have been generally impressed with the local Autozone here. Of course, these places exhibit variable consistency due to the coming and going of people. This Autozone seems to have the same people now that they had a year ago. Maybe they are doing something right.
I hope the belt replacement went smoothly.

Cluck-cluck...I chickened out and paid some friends at a local shop to do it. Changed the water pump, too...
You know your limits. Dirty Harry would be proud.
Best holiday wishes,
