What this means:
* Interference: If the timing belt breaks, the valves and pistons can collide, causing significant engine damage.
* Non-interference: If the timing belt breaks, the valves and pistons are designed to avoid contact, minimizing damage.
Therefore, you need to be extra cautious with the timing belt on the 2004 Mitsubishi Montero. Make sure it's replaced at the recommended intervals to prevent catastrophic engine failure.
