    Default 18R-C; is it an interference engine?

    I just had the top timing chain in my 18R-C decide it suddenly needed to exit through the timing cover.
    Are these motors an interference design or do I have some hope of resurrecting it without replacing all the valves etc?

    Wow same thing happened to me yesterday, I'm actually curious too. I'm taking the head off of mine in a minute though =P So I suppose I'll find out.
