I'm about to purchase a 2k4 ZTS with a 2.3L PZEV engine -- I've been looking everywhere trying to figure out whether or not the engine is an interference type design but I haven't found any answer. Can anyone put a quick answer? [driving]

In an interference-type engine the pistons can come into contact with the valves if the timing belt fails... this can lead to expensive repairs (like my last Civic whose water pump detonated and required $900 to fix). The reason I want to know is whether or not its a priority to have my t-belt changed (the car has 65k miles on it).
