I have a 98 Mazda B2500 with the 2.5 engine. Question is since the 2.5 is a stroked version of the 2.3 is it still a non interference engine meaning if the timing belt breaks will it do damage to the valuetrain? I know the 2.3 in my 92 was.

 

you are correct itis non-nterferance. my belt broke at 105k some people much longer.

 

thanks trying to get sons truck on road and fixing all the suspension first then timing belt it has 105000 right now but money is issue. mine on 92 went at 88000.
