Ok....back to the question about 'interference...
What an interference engine does is...when you are not lucky...it toss a timing belt or allow a timing chain to go slack at the worst possible moment...after you have paid at the Wendys drive though but before you can get to the pick-up window...and you have a long line of other hungry people behind you...and Triple-A is not being too reponsive at the moment...
I hope I don't jinx myself for bringing up that one...now, THAT would be a nightmare...
Interference engines have been a mixed blessing...a lot of them have given the rest of us a chance to nod or grimace sympathetically when a story about a lunched engine gets related to you...
I imagine that interference engines have provided all of us with spare parts cars and trucks in the wrecking yards...
This is why I have never bought anything sporting a timing belt.
