guidop70 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 NEW BELTS AT 60k, NOW HAS 118k. WHAT CAN OR HAPPENS IF BELTS NOT REPLACED? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syonyk Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 The engine stops running. It's a non-interferance engine, so it won't hurt the valves or anything, you just put new belts on & go. -=Russ=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 If you don't replace the belts, they will eventually break. Each Cam has its own belt and if the belt for the driver's side breaks, the engine will stop running. If the belt for the passenger's side breaks the engine will either run on 2 cylinders or it will stop running. The EA82 engine in your Loyale is a non-interference engine so your pistons and valves will not be damaged when a belt breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 ok just for my own knowledge..what year did subaru start making interference engines. My older sis has got an 01 outback and i wonder if her engine is interference or not. Are all newer subys intereference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my recollection of other threads, there seems to be some debate with 95s (or was it 96s?), but 97 and up should all be interference.
