It should answer your question - non-interference!
Question
Hello I have a 1997 Sebring LXI with a going bad water pump I am about to have changed this coming weekend. I was wondering about the piston to valve clearance on these engines if they were designated non interference or interference? I would hate to have the pump totally fail on me driving to be fixed and my pistons slap my valves causing more damage. I also was trying to locate the hydraulic tensioner to replace my original one but cant find it online anywhere, have not asked at local Dodge/Mitsubishi dealer yet. Is that a part that should not fail or would changing it as well as the pulley and belt with the pump be wise? Had the car only a few weeks but not my first, had a 95 Avenger I loved, and a 97 eclipse with the 3.0 which is the same engine with different stroke. Naggingly having the water pump driven by timing belt is my only complaint due to the lack of consumer grade tools to get down to fix it.(Can not get crankshaft pulley bolt out on my own to change it!)Thanks for your time.
Answer
Hi Travis,
The valve train is non-interference in design. The manual says the cylinder head has valve recesses to provide for valve clearance. On the tensioner, I have not heard of these or the pulley failing. Of course change the belt, unless it has less than 50K miles on it. I hope you have a Haynes or Chrysler shop manual to follow. If not let me know and I'll xerox and postal mail you the pages.
