2001 S80 engine is it an interference engine? S80 2001

Yes. This is interference engine and in case of timing belt failure there is a very serious catastrophic damage to engine. However, this engine has its advantages too. Exhaust valves is making wider opening and they experience lower temperature. This allows for higher compression ratio, good performance, without demanding for high octane gasoline.
