Goggle your engine, make etc. with the word interferance and I found the sight for it.
On a Neon engine if the timing belt breaks the valves can bend.
Yep non interference. I know cause I am majic and I just know my stuff
YES - according to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts etc. ) the 2.3 L four cylinder engine used in the 1997 Ford Ranger IS A NON INTERFERANCE ENGINE
yes it is a free-wheeling engine.
the 2.4 l motor is an interference motor
It is interference. It can bend valves.
I read that the 96 cavalier is a non interference engine. Best bet is to call a Chevy dealer or autozone might know. Toyota corollas are non interferance engines. Fords with a sohc 2.0 engine are non interferance. Hondas are interference so are Mitsubishi engines, I learned this the hard way.
No , it's an interference engine according to the Gates website
Its a non interferance engine and they rarely need to be changed
yes, all 8v are free running. (SOHC)
On a 1995 Mercury Tracer : According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) ( both the 1.8 and 1.9 liter four cylinder engines are NON INTERFERENCE )
My experience tells me it is a non interference engine and it is unlikely to have damage.
