It's non-interference.

The proof is that the valves are inset in the head and don't extend into the piston chamber when opened. Maybe somebody can provide a photo of the bottom of the head.

Conceivably, one could make interference engines non-interference by adding a thickened gasket or similar to keep the pistons from touching the valves.
