Basically it is named an Interference Engine by the fact that piston and valve paths may "interfere" with one another as a result of incorrect timing in their movements as a result of broken Timing Belt. On the most recent
case, 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser with 2.4L engine had 8 (out of 8) bent intake valves and 4 (out of 8) bent exhaust valves caused by collision with pistons after timing belt breakage. The engine was running at approximately 3000 RPM.
