You know, I just heard the other day that the earlier ('84-'85)
KH turbo engines were non-interference, though (as we all know)
the MC's "interfere" with gusto if allowed to do so. Lower
compression ratio, apparently. So I needn't have sweated it
on my '85 5KT ...

'85 5KT
'91 200Q
PS: 3B owners -- do you folks know if the timing belt change
procedure and tools are the same on the 20-valvers as on the
MC/KH engines? Another few thousand miles, and the 200Q will
need one ..
