Help: Looking for IBM timing belt replacement.

[Chad Fernandez]

Your talking about interference vs. non-interference engine designs. 
I've owned two cars with belts, thankfully neither broke.  I'm also 
thankful that both were of the non-interference design.  If the belts 
had let loose, my pistons would not have smashed my valves.
