well i searched for a while to no avail.
so here is my question:
is the ej22t an interference motor?
i dont think it is but i want to be sure. the car i am buying should have it replaced soon and i want to know if it i can wait or if i should do a preemptive change on the belt.
thanks

No, it's not an interference motor.

cool, then i can wait till i have the extra cash since if it breaks the only problem is the inconvenience.
and i can then do it myself since im pretty familiar w/the sohc engine.
yep im jumping from the N/A train. i found a smoking deal on a 94 ss. should have it in early dec. just waiting for the curent owner to get a replacement and me to scrape some more dough together.
has a CEL that comes on every now and then. we think its the O2 sensor as it is the original one. its a bit rusty but a good solid running car.
would a bad/clogged cat cause a intermitant CEL?

no. it will just fall on its face power-wise above 4k rpm.

you are refering to the bad cat right?
as that doesnt happen it is more than likely a redundant emissions sensor and nothing to really worry about since the car runs fine.
of course i am incredibly annoyed by unknown CEL lights so i will hook it up and more than likely replace it.
