Default 2.4l 4cyl - is it an interference engine?

I am about to change the head gasket on my 1998 caravan with the 2.4l
4cyl and want to know if this is an interference engine. I've read
conflicting answers.

Gates company has a chart somewhere on their website (they make timing
belts)

Why not just treat it like an interference engine? In other words, paint
indicator
marks on the timing pulleys and the belt, and do what you can not to spin
the
crank or cam while the head is off the engine?
