What’s a non-interference engine?
Put simply, in a non-interference engine, when the piston is at top dead center (TDC), it will never go higher than a fully open valve; that is, the piston can never “interfere” with the valves. Conversely, in an interference engine, the piston could occupy the same space as an open valve.
How do I know if my engine is non-interference?
The difference between an interference and non-interference engine is whether there is a gap between the valve that is fully open and the piston that is in the top position. If there is a gap, the engine is called a non-interference engine. If there is no gap, it is an interference engine.
