"Yeah but what your talking about is the engine itself you can't "make" it one or the other by changing belt types."


Correct. The engine when manufactured comes with one of two types of timing belts. And one type of timing chain.



"I think you mean "interference" and "Non-interference" engines."

Correct. I do get the term mixed up. Interference is the correct term.


If I were going to purchase any new vehicle from a Ford to a Mercedes, I would only choose one with a non-interference engine. It's worth asking before buying.
