I take your preference about belts I changed the timing belt and water pump on my 1997 626 2.0L a couple times, and I appreciated that it was a major maintenance job I could do myself.
That said, if you've got a stable design - belt or chain - regular maintenance works wonders for longevity. For example, during used car shopping, it appeared the 2nd-gen CRV's K-series is afflicted with a flawed tensioner design, and Volkswagen/Audi have had their share of troubled design, as you noted. However, I believe the whole industry has been trending toward chain-driven interference engines, with Mazda being no exception.Īs I see it, there's no longer general comfort in either belt or chain drives - I just do as much research as I can about the reliability (customer complaints) of a given make/model/year. Mazda's <3.0L belt-driven engines of the 90s and early-2000s seemed to be refreshingly non-interference (despite misinformation about the FS/2.0L I've seen). For example, Mazda and Subaru were largely non-interference belt-driven in the 90s, but I believe Subaru moved to belt-driven interference, then chain-driven interference. It's interesting that you say "typically belt engines are non-interference" - I'm not sure that's true anymore. I find more peace of mind in a belt that is generally easier/cheaper to change and doesn't wreck the whole motor when it goes, as opposed to a chain that should last for at least twice as long (until it doesn't), and nukes the powertrain when it fails.
That's just how vehicles are manufactured now. Technically speaking, the "Lifetime of the car" is the warranty period. valve chould be closed on 1first clyder if not then this means your on the second strock. to set timinmg when your pistons are fully at top of engine turn back 1/8 of a turn right bf top dead center.

Every scenario was outside the warranty period, and required a new engine. SOURCE: 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer cant tell u how to replace the belt its eith in the engin or on the sidewith a cover over timing belt that is. Many other people have had the chains snap from being stretched out too far, the chain guides falling out from the slack on the chain, or just having the timing so far off that the pistons crash the valves. I did my buddy's and his came out to 2 inches over a new chain. Now, again to VAG, the B8 platform of just a few years ago had a very serious timing chain stretching issue on the 2.0T engines. Chains are stronger than belts and will keep the timing locked in (for the most part). The cams/valves have to say in perfect synchronization to the crank/pistons, otherwise it becomes metal soup inside your cylinders. Some VAG stuff was of the interference variety like that years ago, but I think for the most part they have moved on to chains.Ĭhain engines are almost always interference engines. I have seen it happen both ways (Euro trash), but typically belt engines are non-interference, meaning when the belt goes, the pistons won't smack the valves and wreck the whole thing. I've spent more time worrying about my chain than worrying about my belt.
