Re: vavle interference engines

Assume it does have an interference engine.
As far as I know almost all American made pushrod engines are, and most double overhead cam engines are.
some single over head cam engines are non interference, especially those with a narrow angle between the valves (where the valves are nearly parallel, like the Ford 2.3 liter 4 cyl.

So long as the engine is maintained properly, (ie; change the timing belt when recommended in the owners manual) it makes no difference whether its interference or not.
