Subaru engines are not "interference" engines, that is a valve won't crash into the piston and destroy the engine. But the engine stops running. Right now. This could be disastrous if, say, you're pulling out in front of a big truck. Why take the chance? When you do have the timing belt replaced be sure to also replace the water pump. There is very little additional labor but if you don't you will be back in there within 6 months replacing the pump. Good luck! --Ken
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
On older 300ZX's equipped with a timing belt it will cause internal engine damage if the belt breaks as they are interference engines.
Subaru uses a belt.
Subaru does use a timing belt. Please ask a question that can be answered.
Subaru Forester has a timing belt.
No, but why in the world would you take the chance? When the timing belt breaks the engine stops right now. It does not care if you are going to be run over by that truck you just pulled out in front of.
belt
Yes.

The 2.5 litre four cylinder engine in a 2000 Subaru Forester has a timing BELT

It must be changed every 105,000 miles. Warning: This is an interference engine. If the belt breaks you will have internal engine damage.
