Default 05 Odyssey Timing Belt

I have a 05 Odyssey with 109k miles, I know the recommended timing belt maint is at 105k. However I can't seem to get an answer if the engine is an interference engine or not. Ideally I would like to wait another 10k miles to hold off on the expense, however I don't want to roll the dice if it will cause more serious problems if the timing belt fails before then. Any advice?

Yes, the Odyssey comes with an interference engine.

IMO, anything after the recommended replacement mark is rolling the dice. I've seen cars go past the suggested mileage without a problem and some that end up needing more than just a t-belt kit because they waited. There's no real concrete response to if and how long you can go past the recommended mark, without causing any additional harm.
