Easy question for you guys

I just bought a 91 civic SI, and I was curious if the engine was interference, or non interference?

Anyone know?

True story: I had one go at 80mp on rt 71 in Columbus. The car had been purchased that day. The dealer had a T-Belt put on it due to circumstances. The head was never pulled, so they didn't replace any valves. The motor lasted 3 years, then the valve seals did eventually go bad but Im' not sure how that's related.

Anyway, you may get lucky.
