Supposedly the old 12 valve Mitsu V6s are non-interference.

Yeah the SOHC 12V aren't I believe. I also know the old DOHC Chevy 3.4L that was in the 90s Luminas etc. had a timing belt on a non interference engine.

There are quite a few non interference. Many non vvti Toyotas, most Ford's.

Vg33 is listed as interference but I've yet to see one bend.

You know what is an interference engine? Focus SVT. Ask me how I know

The SOHC 12V are non interference. I remember there was a base 99 3000GT years ago that the guy was selling cheap because he was told the engine was trash because the belt broke. I didn't have the funds to get it but I pointed Hans in that direction. He picked it up and told me what a disaster the timing belt stuff was from lack of maintenance, but all he did was throw a new belt and kit on it and it fired right up.

I'm pretty sure I was under the maintenance interval on the Focus. The Ford number was 100k, and the common wisdom on the forums was to do it at 90. I want to say my car was at 91 or so. I even had all the parts ready to do it. I was just too pre-occupied with the Spyder at the time.
