Interesting question. If you believe the Gates website, this particular motor is NOT an interference motor. See Gates. com. If you believe about.com, the 1.6 DOHC motor IS an interference motor. Bottom Line: Replace the belt at the advertised interval. If it is an interference motor, you will save large dollars. If it is not, you have spent the replacement dollars earlier than later. If the belt has already broken, take off the valve cover. If any of the valves are not at the same level, or not firm in their guide when the cam lobe rotates off of them, then that valve is bent, broken or otherwise damaged. Your twelve year old Geo may be honorably retired.
