2.4l 4cyl - is it an interference engine?

Jun 30, 2007 4 Replies

I am about to change the head gasket on my 1998 caravan with the 2.4l



4cyl and want to know if this is an interference engine. I've read conflicting answers.

Gates company has a chart somewhere on their website (they make timing belts)

Why not just treat it like an interference engine? In other words, paint indicator marks on the timing pulleys and the belt, and do what you can not to spin the crank or cam while the head is off the engine?
