The single overhead cam and the dual overhead cam engines are both listed as interference engines. This indicates the possibility of engine damage when the belt breaks. Now, I have seen both engines come in with broken timing belts and leave o/k after the belts are replaced. For the $80.00 - $100.00 (prices may vary in your area) it's worth putting a belt on it and trying it to see if it's o/k.
