Does 2008 Dodge Caliber have an interference engine?

The 2008 Dodge Caliber used a few different engines. Some had interference engines, and some did not.

Specifically:

* The 2.0L and 2.4L engines were interference engines. This means that if the timing belt breaks, the valves can hit the pistons, causing significant engine damage.

* The 1.8L engine (if offered in 2008) was likely a non-interference engine. However, it's crucial to verify this with your specific vehicle's documentation or a mechanic.

Therefore, you must check your specific Caliber's engine size to know for certain. Consult your owner's manual or the vehicle's identification plate (often found under the hood or in the driver's side door jamb) to determine which engine is in your car.
