nah no problem is just i changed all the belts and water pump but apparently mech used a SUN timing belt. I know little of the brand so i want to be safe, so if the engine is a interference type, dat belt going within 10,000miles. SO no one can shed sum light?

I have a sun belt doing almost 30k no probs...Preferred a gates but couldn't find.

plan to change it at 50000 km though...

Read the gates application guide but doesn't say if the 4G92 is or not. I do remember a guy here , whose timing belt burst off his 4G92 at idle and it didn't bend any valves....

mitsu engines are strong so it will not bend valves immediately when the belt bursts.

I do not believe that this is an interference engine

Mr. Red Sleeper,
yuh sure? i've seen it happen to the valves on the exhaust side of a 4G91

Apparently only thr SOHC 1.6 and 1.8 Lancers are non interference....

Of course, it depends on how long it was run in that condition

Mr. Red Sleeper,
hmmm. all of two gears, trying to make power i think, 2 - 3. before car refused to go any further. engine was started a couple of times, sounding like a scubie, and idling badly.
