Timing Belt Snapped

[THE_RELLIK]

My question is if I have an interference motor and if I do or dont would the motor lunch when the belt snaps. I own a 1995 Luminia LS 3.4 engine vin code x. Really need help with this dont know if I should replace the belt or motor thanks.

1995's I >think< are non-interference... but there are some that I have seen to prove that theory wrong.

hmmm not what I was hoping to hear since a long block will cost me 2400

the older ones are non-interference and from everything i know the 96s and 97s arent either unless the heads are shaved too much or something, even though a lot of service manuals say they are.

thank you for you help

i've heard of early LQ1s smashing valves, from what i understand a lot of it has to do with what was going on when it broke, like when mine broke i was just a little over 2000rpm, but at about 6000rpm you have a higher chance of something getting smashed, but personally i'd replace the belt and you ought to be fine from there.

sounds like a plan going to do that and see where i land after that

just wanted to thank everyone for their input got her running today 1 cam is off a tooth but the motor isnt blown so tommorrow i will have her roaring now I have to do a rear main seal someone shoot me this engine is satan

Make sure it isn't the distributor o-ring leaking. If it is the o-ring leaking you'll have to pull the rear head to do it right to replace the o-ring. Most people hack it and RTV the mating surfaces and cross there fingers.
