single sided timing belt

In an interference engine, if the timing belt breaks or slips, the pistons can collide with the open valves. This collision can cause severe damage to both the pistons and valves, leading to costly repairs. Unlike non-interference engines, which allow enough clearance for pistons and valves to avoid contact, interference designs do not provide such a safety net. Thus, the stakes are higher regarding the maintenance and inspection of the timing belt.
