YES
No, the 3-cylinder Geo Metro engine is not an interference design engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt failure, the pistons and valves will not collide, preventing potential engine damage. This design characteristic makes the Geo Metro's engine more forgiving in terms of maintenance and timing belt replacement.
Interference engines are quite common in consumer automobiles, so even though the specific information is harder to find it is still most likely an interference engine.
yes, if it's a 3 cylinder Mr Geo Metro yes, if it's a 3 cylinder Mr Geo Metro
The 1995 Geo Metro with the 1.0L 3-cylinder engine is classified as a non-interference engine. In non-interference engines, the pistons and valves occupy separate spaces in the cylinder, meaning that if the timing belt were to fail, the pistons would not collide with the open valves. This design reduces the risk of significant engine damage in the event of a timing issue.
The Chevrolet Metro is equipped with a 1.0L or 1.3L inline-four engine, both of which are classified as non-interference engines. This means that if the timing belt fails, the pistons will not collide with the valves, preventing significant engine damage. Regular maintenance, including timely timing belt replacement, is still essential to avoid potential issues.

ACCORDING TO THE CHILTON MANUAL YES. EDIT: According to the manuals and parts description, they say these are interference engines. The SOHC versions are not interference while the rarer DOHC versions are interference engines. Since they are not aware of what engine you are working on, they would rather be safe and tell you it is an interference engine. I would have destroyed at least two of these engines if they were interference. I have changed timing belts and been off a few teeth at first.
Interference,
Interference engine.
Do you mean interference type or non-interference type? If this is what your asking, it is a non-interference type. this means that the timing belt can brake and no damage to the engine will accur. interference type means that if the belt brakes the pistons can hit the valves and bend and or brake stuff. don't worry about it on a geo metro I had two brake and it just stops running and replacing the timing belt takes 45 min to replace, it's easy.
