I saw the search engine faults on the network the other day. It reminded me that most people do not really understand what is and interference engine. To make a long story short interfering an interference engine, a that parts with one another when a major component, like a belt or chain has been broken. Most of the time interference engines are discussed in terms of timing belt. Some of the older V-8 engines were also disturbances Motors, for example, I rememberSeveral of the Ford engines 351M Turn valves and bumpers, if the timing chain failed.
In my opinion the worst type of engine for the interference between the valves and the pistons are double over head cam engines. Each cylinder has two camshafts, which are connected by a chain, gears or belts. The worst of them is the engine that both cams by a common belt drive on the crankshaft.
Most diesel engines are overhead cam engines because of the interferencesmall space required to produce the compression ignite the fuel in a diesel engine. The Volkswagen indirect injection diesel engine is a good example.
If you break a timing belt on a motor disorder, it is usually very expensive. The lowest costs are generally a few bent valves. A Volkswagen diesel IDI bent once all eight valves damaged a piston and cause the failure of a connecting rod. This broken belt costs about $ 2500 to repair.
If you aretiming belt on your engine to change to be sure that you have accurate information. Get a good repair manual before you change your timing belt (The article at this link try to discuss timing belt detail).
