Question - 2002 Montero Sport XLS

RE: Question - 2002 Montero Sport XLS
seriously no more of this ****. Thank you.
now on to the question. Yes the car can run like sebba said if the t-belt only skipped a few teeth. But if you think there is too much oil in it why not check the dip stick and see . If there is then do the oil change and see if the noise goes away. Or go to your mechanic and have him perform a compression test on the cylinders. That will instantly tell you if you have any head gasket issues

Seriously PLEASE stop giving advice if you know NOTHING on the subject.
Timing belt is****ed upThe reason you cant see it is because its under the cover. You will be extremely lucky if you havnt bent a valve or 8.
Sounds like you also have a blown head gasket
WHITE SMOKE IS NOT ****ING WATER!!!!!!

Back to the topic- the 6G74 3.5L IS an interference engine. If you suspect the timing belt has jumped- check your ignition base timing. Mechanical mistiming will result in ignition mistiming. Otherwise, the leftside cam cover is easily removed and the right side has an inspection plate.
If your crankcase is overfull, have your mechanic drain it to make sure it is onlyoil down there and not oil and water from perhaps a blown headgasket. The added water in the crankcase will make the oil level appear high as the oil will rise above the water as it seperates.If it is 5 quarts overfull with straight oil, have him pull out the plugs and check that they are not oil fouled. The added 5 quarts plus high RPMs can blow a ton of oil passed the rings and oil foul your plugs quickly. Did you happen to catch a glimpse at the temperature gauge when this problem initially happened?

Engine noise and smoke
The timing belt does not have to be broken. If the engine runs, but nosy and smokes, it's possible that the timing belt jumped a tooth. This will put the valves out of sync, but not by much. I definitely would not be driving it until you have it checked out.
