I can't say yes or no to this one.You can experiment when the cambelt is off, by rotating the crank very gently and feeling if it contacts an open valve or not.If you would use the information as an excuse to delay a cambelt change, (if it's not interference)please don't, as a belt breaking will cause great inconvenience and cost,particularly away from home ground.I once dropped and lost a electrical spade connecter,the engine suddenly ran very rough/pinking heavily.The spade had got in between the cambelt and pulleys and jumped the belt round 3 teeth.This was my first astra a 1983 mk1 1300. Refitting the belt cured it without harm,but you may not be lucky.

How can you tell it's an interference engine or If it's a non-interference engine?
If you give the yr/make/model/engine, could let you know... But if you want to find out your self. You need to turn piston 1 to TDC and depending on the engine, undo the valve spring keeper and measure how far the valve drops until in hits the piston. Subtract .050 of an inch and if it is less than the max valve lift you have an interference engine.
