I was unsure, and still am, as there is a lot of conflicting information |
There are people in the 7/900 section who have had a B200E cambelt snap and valves hit pistons, as far as I'm aware all 2.0 low friction engines are interference.
This is because the 2.0 pistons have a dome on top of the crown but the 2.3 have a dished crown.
