Does 2005 Chevy Cavalier have interference motor?

The 2005 Chevy Cavalier is equipped with the 2.2L Ecotec engine, which is a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt were to fail, the pistons would not collide with the valves, preventing significant engine damage. Therefore, while it’s still important to maintain the timing components, a failure won't result in catastrophic consequences for the engine.
