Is the '99 Legacy's 2.2L interference engine?

Jan 30, 2009 1 Replies

I've just bought this car and there are no records of the timing belt been ever changed. The mileage on the odometer is questionable too, so I am trying to decide whether I should change the belt right away or if it can wait...



According to the

a '98 engine was non-interference, but not '99. Is that true?



Thanks, /MM


If the spark plugs are oriented at an angle to the heads, it is non-interference. If the plugs come straight out from the top of the head, it is interference.
