Is there enough valve clearance from the piston on a Mazda mx3 1.8 when timing belt slips?

Yes, there is enough clearance between the valves and pistons even if the timing belt slips in a Mazda MX3 1.8 engine. This is because the engine utilizes a non-interference design, which means that the pistons will not come into contact with the valves in the event of a timing belt failure.
