Well, the 2004 Rio 1.6l engines are "interference" type engines. If your belt breaks as you are cranking the engine over to start it, you're probably going to be ok, but if you're driving down the road at 45mph like I was, you'll likely need a new engine due to the cylinder heads smashing into the open valves at the top of the cylinders. Yay.
Kia's all have a zero clearance motors. here is a very good example. your timing belt breaks your motor is garbage! your intake valves spark plugs and exhaust valves will all be embedded in your piston. Please read your manual and go by what it says, and I state it says change it at 60,000 miles. If you want to save your motor in your kia Rio, Spectra, Sedona, Sportage, Amanti, Rondo, etc CHANGE IT AT 60,000 MILES!!!
