QUOTE(laff09 @ Mar 14, 2007 - 1:23 PM) [snapback]536256[/snapback] What are the "pros" of having an interference engine? Interference engine - A conventional modern engine design. It is a configuration of which when a valve is open at it’s greatest point, it exists in the same area that the piston travels into, and will be in shortly. The benefits of this design are a closer tolerance, shorter engine, more freedom in combustion chamber design and valve angle. The downfall is if and when a timing belt/chain fails, the valve will not not close, and the piston will strike it. (http://paultan.org/car-jargon/) |
