RE: interference motors

["J Miller" <sjmill@erols.com>]

ok
here ya go if you want the skinny
an interence motor is an motor wear the valves will collide with the pisons,
16v valve motors are interence motors because when you snap the timing belt
you bend valves
, vr-6 are interence motors for the same reason, some 8v motors are but
those would be the high compression 8v's
i woudl say on an 8v i think it is over 9.5:1 the vlaves would collide with
the pistons so it woudl interfere
any thing i miss or questions?
