Engine name - when the valves enter the cylinders

[broox]

I know I read it here before, but I can't seem to find it now. Some guy who had modded big blocks was talking about valves, timing belt, etc. and someone here answered back.

What is an engine called when the valves enter the cylinders?

I remember the response being something like "DSMs have a ______ engine, the valves enter the cylinders"

intrusive? ehhh. I can't remember. Maybe I was dreaming...

Interference - & you probably would find it easier to just track ONE Thread on your repair...

yep, I looked it on wikipedia from "timing belt": Depending on the design of the engine, the piston and valve paths may "interfere" with one another and incorrect timing in their movements may result in the piston and valves colliding. (Such designs are also called "interference head" or "interference engines". The DSM are this type of engines.
