misleading timing belt info......

Timing Belts: Is Your Engine an Interference Engine?

This site shows certain Volvo 2.3 engines as interference engines... but to my understanding, the models listed are non-interference engines.

Only the FWD 2.3s are interference.

Someone back me up, so set me straight.

North American B230F engines are non-interference. Certain markets in the world got camshafts that turned the engine into a interference design, hence the confusion.
