All right a friend of mine drives a '98 Dodge Neon with the 2.0 engine. I'm fairly certain that it's the 420A. I'm not for sure but I need to know what engine she has as well as if it's an interference engine (She just snapped the timing belt). I'm going to be working on it tommorrow at work so someone let me know please.

420a was only equiped in the 97-99 neon r/t, all base modles have the a855 motor, same thing as the 420a but its a sohc.

I REALLY hope it's not an interference motor... Anyone know? And if it is I need to know a way to test the valves to see if they're bent.

yes it is an interference engine. Both the 420a and the a588 were.

Well then a way to test the valves without ripping the head off? Anyone?

well if she snapped it while driving theres probably a good chance that some of them are bent. I dont think there is any way to know unless you take off the valve cover and look at them
