i didnt read all of that but it sounds kinda scary, i have a 00' si...interference?....

Sure is. Its not really scary, only if you dont maintain your car. If your car has over a 100k miles and you dont know if the timing belt has been changed, get it changed. I just bought my 99 si about 6 months ago and it had timing belt changed at 86k miles, it now has 155k so I'm changing the timing belt, tensioner etc. Preventative maintenance is the key to the longevity of any car.
