Hi guys,:D

New it the site, timing belt broke on the way home from work. The motor just shut off, is the 93 4cyl/2.3l an interference motor? Or do I have bent valves. :(Thanks.
 






I wish I could help you. I just can't remember. One thing you could do is place the piston on top dead center of the cylinder you want to test and introduce some air via the spark plug hole. Don't hit it with a lot of pressure, or it will just spin the motor over unless you are perfectly on tdc. Of course, a leak down tester is best for this. Listen for air in the intake or exhaust.
