Hi guys,

Anyone know for sure if the SC400 V8 is an interfereance engine (clearance between valves and pistons) or not? The wording in the service manual is kind of confusing, I interpret it as IT IS NOT AN INTERFEREANCE ENGINE.

Thanks in advance,

AFAIK, its non interferance. Dealership told me so, as well as several internet lists of interferance/non-interferance engines.

I concur, non-interference.

There was a thread about this a while back pertaining to timing belts and whatnot, and the consensus around the board was that these are not interference engines. I made that same mistake in thinking it was interference. Makes sense that if you dump over $500 million into R&D on a motor, you'd at least make it non-interference
