Does a 2.2 liter 2001 Chevy Cavalier have interference engine?
The 2.2L Ecotec engine in the 2001 Chevy Cavalier does not have an interference engine design. This means that if the timing belt breaks, the valves and pistons are unlikely to collide, preventing catastrophic damage. However, while it's less damaging than an interference engine, a broken timing belt will still cause the engine to stop functioning and will require repairs.
