It is not, there are complaints about the timing chain noise and there are not many 6 cylinder engines that you have to worry about that one.
SOURCE: interference engine
all of the engines used in the hyundai's are interference engine's, that does not mean for sure u have bent valves but the chances are u did. source of info Gates timing belt Catalog.
SOURCE: Is the 2001 Ford escort ZX2 L4-2.0L DOHC engine
All of Ford's belt driven engines are non-interference with the exception of the 3.0L villager which was really a nissan.

Yes I double Salkim08's solution. Since your motor is made from Aluminum, this could be a big sign that it is an interferance motor. Aluminum expands twice as much as iron. Most old fashion V motors ( v6's V8's) are made with an Iron block and Aluminum heads. But new Transverse motors( sideways front wheel drive motors), block and cylinder head, are made of aluminum.
SOURCE: Is the engine a non interference engine? Trying
Dear Unsure About Timing Belt Replacement......You are CORRECT ...this xterra motor does have whatthey call an interference engine in it.......and yes it does require exact placement and alignment of the cam to crank timing marks. Cam lock stabilizers are invovled for a pain free install of the timing belt.... If you have never done one before I would suggest that this not be your first attempt......try smaller and work up to something like this.......If you do need any more help though please get back to me....thx for your time!!!!!HOPE I COULD HELP!!!
