Do the S series Volvos (40,60,70,80) have zero-tolerance engines, i.e. if the timing belt breaks the pushrods can get bent? My daughter had a Mitsubishi Eclipse that needed $1600 of engine work done on it when the belt broke. I'd like to avoid engine types that suffer from the same potential issue.
