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.

A Poly-V TB2 belt is a type of multi-ribbed belt designed for high-performance applications. It features a series of longitudinal ribs that run along the belt's length, providing multiple contact points with the pulleys. This ribbed structure is designed for quiet operation and minimal vibration, offering an efficient means of power transmission. The TB2 designation typically indicates specific dimensions and properties of the belt, which are crucial for ensuring compatibility with the systems in which they are used.
