Not *all* of them. Some of the turbo motors aren't.

But my old VW Rabbit was non-interference, and my Miata is non-interference as well. Both of those have been tested.

I had a Dodge Omni some years back. Surprisingly fast and fun to drive. I guess 2.2 liter is halfway big for a car that small.

Anyway, I busted a belt and came out smelling like a rose. Good thing too, cuz that car would have been instant junk with an interference engine.

Lately Toyota has been using chains. Don't know when they went that way but I do know the 07 and newer are all chains.

I have a piston with some nice valves marks in it here...
