Interference or Non-Interference? Toyota 1MZ-FE VVT-i 3.0-liter V6

Is the Toyota 1MZ-FE with VVT-i 3.0-liter V6 an interference engine? Or is it a non-interference engine? This question is often asked but seldom ever answered on a factual basis. This video should lay all remaining argument to rest. This engine is used in Toyota Highlander, Toyota Camry, Toyota Sienna, Lexus RX300, and Lexus ES300. As a reminder, in a non-interference engine, the valves can never ever make contact with the piston. Also, in this particular engine, there can never ever be any valve-to-valve interference, because the dual camshafts are locked together by a solid gear.
