What Engines Are Non Interference Engines?
Are you curious about how car engines work? One essential aspect of engine design that greatly affects their reliability and maintenance costs is whether they are interference or non-interference engines. In this educational blog, we'll explore what engines are non-interference engines, how they differ from interference engines, and why they are favored by many drivers. Understanding Non-Interference Engines Non-interference engines are a type of engine design where the pistons and valves operate in separate spaces within the engine. This unique design ensures that the pistons and valves do not come into contact with each other, even if the timing belt or chain breaks while the engine is running. As a result, non-interference engines are less likely to experience major engine damage in the event of a timing belt or chain failure. Cars with non-interference engines are known for their reliability and lower maintenance costs, making them a preferred choice among drivers who value ...
