Why does the valve have to go up and down. at all? Why,

I don't believe that with the high compressions required of a diesel
engine it is possible to have a non-interference design. To get the
high compression there is VERY little space at TDC. I don't think
there is any way to design around that. If the valves were recessed
into the head then there

Audi, Honda, Volvo, VW and others have been using interference designs
for over 25 years. In fact, most high compression engines are
interference designs.

Well why not! It is a great way to sell parts, make profit and burn fossil

Hello Jon,
Don't know about the rest but you should be aware that the VW engine
has a very serious design fault. If the timing belt breaks the engine will
be destroyed. I don't know why vw didn't
Don't know about the rest but you should be aware that the VW engine

the valves in the head, and maybe recess a small area over the piston

just keep on going...

of new diesel vehicles, i'd like to ask a general question. I'd like to
purchase a diesel vehicle, as my next, and wonder what my choices are. It
will need to be used, but perhaps new enough so that fuel lines and other
compnents wont need to be changed .
I think the idea of a camper van that
