OK I'm not sure where this stands or what the answer is.......is the 3.5 a non-interference engine or not? Member "Crossman" who is currently selling his 2001 Proton advised this is an interference engine and now today while getting Kilby skids installed, mechanic looked it up in his latest "book". Says it IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE if 8th VIN digit is an "X".Originally Posted by VCrossfan

We've seen various sources say our engine is an interference engine and none of them are the people who made the engine. Isuzu Motors in a tech training manual for the new '98 3.2L and 3.5L engines says these engines are non-interference engines.
The eighth digit in the VIN just designates what engine the vehicle has, 3.2, 3.5, 3.5DI, 2.2, and so on.

ALL ISUZU V6 ENGS ARE NON INTERFERENCE ENGS FROM 92 TROOPER ALL THE WAY TO 2002 AND THE RODEOS 93 THRU THE 2003 MODEL YEAR,
3.2 3.5 DOHC AND SOHC
