Can someone tell me if this is model has an "Interference engine " In other
words will the engine get damaged if the timing belt breaks? What is the
manufacturers recommendation regarding when the timing belt should be
replaced. Does anyone know that a dealer might charge for the new belt?
Thanks |

According to Gates timing belt web site, the 1998 LS has an interference |
engine, with a manufacturer's recommended timing belt replacement interval
of 90,000 miles.
