The valve reliefs on some engines are deep enough to make them non-interference. The Pathfinder VG33 is not one of those engines. The valve reliefs and the small cam profile mean the valves don't spend much time in harm's way, so your chances of a piston meeting a valve when the belt fails are lower than they could be with some other interference engines. I've read a few accounts on here of people getting lucky and getting away with just replacing the belt. (Keep in mind though that this definition of "lucky" still has you stranded until you can get it fixed.) If you don't get lucky, and a valve does meet a piston, the valve bends and doesn't seal anymore. When you replace the belt, you'll have no compression in that cylinder. Replacing valves means removing one or both cylinder heads (depending on how many valves are damaged). I got my '93 without a service history and replaced the timing belt myself (using the service manual and this writeup) before I started driving it. If its prior belt changes were done at the recommended service intervals, the one I removed probably had another 10k miles left in it, and it looked okay when I removed it. But I'd much rather do a (comparatively) small job on my schedule and have it over with than have it crap out without warning at a time/place of its choosing, get it towed, and then have to tear it down to a short block to repair it.

Another Pathy Party (5 this time)! Yesterday started as a Pines to Spines Offroad SubFrame Drop test fitment party on the Gambler 500 rig; however, after taking this picture, the guys all said my front end was such an eyesore that something had to be done.(@TowndawgR50 , [mention=40509]pathy_02[/mention],[mention=32880]ferrariowner123[/mention])

@!*% sorry mates didn't realize I'm an idiot. Should be fixed now see above. Pathy is 31" KO2s, KYB / AC Springs in the front, and Bilstein 5100s / LR Springs in the back. Nothing crazy. Lots got stuck here

Successfully completed the Whipsaw trail on Canada Day Long Weekend. Land Cruisers, Tacos, 4Runners, and Jeeps getting stuck but not Pathfinder. Any Idea why the site says " You can only upload a total of 0MB."? How do I contact the admin? Thanks, Tomek EDIT - attempt off dropbox. Hope it's not too many pic for you guys! Sticking to just the Pathy ;)_ Hope you dig! I know we had a blast. If anyone of you want to make it up to BC and have a rip at it, hit me up! Friend's stuck Jeep Getting Ready to pull it out Made it up with some guidance some of the stuff we were up against Lost a left flare, but who cares, least of my worries!

Put two V8s on your pathy.
