Junk, it is an interference motor. You need to replace the belt as recommended. For those who don't understand, some motors just die when the timing belt breaks. Nothing bad happens, just need a tow to a shop to get it replaced. On an "interference" engine, there is no clearance inside the engine between the pistons and the valves if they are not in time. If the timing belt breaks, the pistons slam against the valves, destroying the engine.

Is the 1993 Geo Storm engine an interference motor or are you OK if the timing belt breaks?
the clutch is really easy to install and the timing belt is not a problem if its shot The 1993 Geo Storm is not an interference motor, because my belt just broke,(Nov 2005) and I got the same question answered on the following website: "www.nutzandboltz.org". My daughter's 1990 Geo Storm timing belt broke while she was driving it. She tried to start the engine but it would not run. We were told that it was an interference motor and that the motor was now shot. Being a little skeptical of the "experts" I put a new timing belt on and the engine started and has run fine for several months (clutch just went out). So much for the experts, by the way how ard is it to change the clutch? Thanks M in Omaha
