I suspect my timing belt broke today.

I was tooling down the road at around 40mph, when the engine just shut off. Pulled off the side of the road tried to kick it over, it spun faster than normal - Probably a timing belt.

My mechanic says it's an interference engine so it's toast. It's marked as an interference engine in his NAPA belt guide. He hasn't actually looked at it yet, we'll now more tomorrow...

What say you good folks?

Is my near mint 240 now a junker? Intereference or No?

- Belt tension? (Maybe just jumped a few teeth) [200][1989]

If he thinks it's 'interference' (which it isn't), how much do you suppose he knows about 240s -- do you really want him to work on your car??? Get another mechanic! (N.M.I.) [200][1989]

Or maybe he knows (and thinks you don't), and has his kid's tuition bill waiting to be paid -- go somewhere else for your repair ... (again N.M.I.) [200][1989]
