Interference Engines – Complete List
The following list will provide you the information on whether your car engine is an interference engine or a non-interference engine.
An interference engine is one that has insufficient clearance between the valves and pistons if the cam stops turning due to a broken timing belt.
The result is usually catastrophic engine failure. Not so with a non-interference engine. It pays to know.
The video below will also help you determine if your car has a timing belt or chain.
