I assume that it is, but haven't seen anything definitive. I thought of this while participating in another thread about timing belts. If our engine is an interference engine then obviously changing a timing belt on time becomes that much more important.
For those that don't know, my understanding is that in an interference engine if a timing belt breaks the pistons can keep moving while some of the valves may not be moving since the belt that drove the camshaft that moved them has broken. This means the piston and the valve can slam into each other and do a lot of damage to the engine.
Here's a good explanation I found.
