2. Flat Belts Flat belts are another traditional type that consists of a simple, flat strip of material. They are typically made from leather, rubber, or synthetic materials. Flat belts are generally used in applications where the shafts are spaced far apart, such as in conveyor systems and certain agricultural machinery. They are less efficient than V-belts in terms of power transfer, but their design allows for easier replacement and maintenance.

1. Reduced Repair Costs One of the most significant benefits of non-interference engines is the reduced likelihood of catastrophic engine damage in the event of a timing belt failure. In an interference engine, a timing belt failure can result in bent valves, damaged pistons, and much higher repair costs. However, with a non-interference engine, the consequences of a timing belt failure are generally limited to replacing the timing belt itself, which is a much less expensive repair.
