Yes valves will bend if timing belt goes out while driven.
No , it is not an interference engine
A Chevrolet 502 if you want to do all the work that would take. Realistically, a 1.8L DOHC 16V out of the Geo Storm GSI is about the most you're gonna fit in there.
The 1993 Geo Prizm with a 1.6-liter engine does not have a zero clearance engine. It features an interference engine design, meaning that if the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the valves, potentially causing significant engine damage. Regular maintenance of the timing belt is crucial to prevent such issues.
( Yes ) , the 2.2 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a 1993 Honda Accord ( IS an interference engine ) according to Gates ( they make timing belts etc . )

Can you swap a 93 Geo metro manual transmition with a 95 Geo Metro
Yes, this is an interference engine. The belt must be replaced every 60,000 miles. If the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur.
If the timing belt breaks the engine will just stop.No other damage will happen,there is clearance between the valves and the pistons.This happened to me. And I just rebuilt my 93 Geo convertible it had over 255,000 mi. It is a great little engine
compare the engine stamps on the block or head. You may need a book to see if they are compatible to swap out.
Yes it is the same exact combination I have in my tracker
It should. To better check, go to local parts store and check the Haines Manual...is should be for both Geo Metro and Geo Storm, just check that is bolts up the same.
If it's the standard engine, yes. Both the first generation ('89-'92) and second generation ('93-'97) Prizms were powered by the same engine, the 4A-FE, but the option of a more powerful engine was also available to buyers, the 4A-GE engine for the first generation cars and the 7A-FE for the second generation cars.
