Thank god for non-interference engines.

I assume it was either an

A. defective belt

or

B. not installed properly,

as it only had 25,000 miles on it.

You guys think I should take it back to the mechanic that did it and demand he fix it for free? That would present a towing issue, granted, as he's an hour away; whereas there's another shop at the bottom of my block that I could literally push the car to.

At least I know why my car is not starting now.

I'm still worried... the engine sure did clank and slam when it died for not being interference. Any of the guru's want to explain this one? Any possible way a non-interference engine could bend valves, etc, from a timing belt breaking?
