An interference engine is a type of internal combustion engine in which the pistons and the valves share the same space within the cylinder at certain points in the engine cycle. This design allows for greater efficiency and better performance at higher RPMs but also introduces significant risks if the timing belt—the component responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft—fails. Understanding the implications of timing belt integrity in interference engines is crucial for vehicle maintenance and engine longevity.

In a CVT system, the transmission belt operates between two pulleys that can change diameter. As the engine generates power, the primary pulley expands and contracts, causing the belt to move up and down its sides. This movement adjusts the gear ratio according to the vehicle's speed and engine load, allowing for optimal engine performance and efficiency at all times. The belt's ability to flex and adapt is what makes the CVT smooth and responsive, eliminating the shift shock commonly experienced in traditional transmissions.
