The repair station ( not a Ford dealer) claims this IS an interference engine and may need valve and piston work.
How can he say that?
Just taking it home to decide what to do later.
Comments?
"Baby needs new shoes."
Go to another repair shop. Tell them to change the belt or do it yourself.
Edit. Read this thread and print the instructions and pictures for them if they need it.

Click on Gates belt replacement guide. It shows that Ford 2.0 liter is not interference.
