I assume you're talking about the 4-cylinder engine, and yes, it is a non-interference engine. The pistons have "cutouts"to prevent the valves hitting them in case the timing belt breaks. This doesn't apply to the V6, of course, since it has a timing chain, rather than a belt.

I believe that this is the same engine used in my 2000 Ford Contour, which is a non-interference engine (luckily) as I'm having to replace the timing belt now after losing about 8 inches of teeth! Robert G.
