The 1995 3.4L is NOT an interference engine. Change belt every 60,000 miles. The 1996-97 3.4L is an interference engine.
According to the following link the 95-97 1.5L engine is a interference engine. Change the belt or bend the valves......... http://www.car-stuff.com/carparts/mazdaprotege19951997daycody952661.html
if they are both 16 -valve engines ,yes if one is 8-valve & the other is 16-valve, then short block only ANSWER: The '95 and '97 Trackers have different sensors and ECU's. The only way you could put a '95 engine in an '97 TRacker would be if you also had the ECU from the '95
No, this is not an interference engine.
It would help to know the engine that is in this particular car. If nothing else, the trim level might help. There is not enough information with this question for it to be answered correctly. Also, the timing belt has nothing to do with interference, the clearance between a fully open valve and a fully compressed piston determine interference. The belt only turns the camshafts. Checking the Gates Timing belt guidelines - this car does not have an interference engine no matter what engine size it is whether it's the 1.5, 1.6, or the 1.8L. The 01-03 2.0l do have an interference engine- Dale in Southern Idaho - mobile mechanic.

This engine uses a cam chain and no maintenance is required.THIS ANSWER IS TOTALLY INCORRECT OK FIRST OFF IT DOES HAVE A CHAIN THAT WILL BREAK AND YES IT IS A INTERFERENCE THE GM MANUAL SAYS IF THE CHAIN BREAKS TO CHECK FOR BENT VALVES.
