Basic 4 Cylinder 2.0 Engine - Interference?

Driving 70 miles an hour down the freeway it appears I probably broke my Timing belt - now the car is in front of my house - will not start - and not worth much - we are trying to get a confirmation on whether it is an interference or non- interference engine (aka is it worth towing). Anyone know?

After calling 6 different dealers / mechanics - I called 3 in my area that I trust - (one being a ford dealer) - this is a NON -interference engine - I am goign to have it fixed - about $400 - I'll post if I find out something else :)

zetecs are non-interference motors. If you're mechnically inclined (doesn't take much) timing belts are very easy to fix.

Here's a link to a basic repair guide to give you a basic idea of what is involved in replacing the belt.

If you are going to do the job yourself, I recommend getting a repair manual or going to the library for a manual.
