now i am fairly certain that the kade motor is aninterference motor meaning that if the car jumps timethen the valves smack the pistons, correct me if i'm wrong

the reason i'm asking is i am wanting to know that if this istrue, then if my car jumped a tooth or two on the cams wouldi know it?:confused:

the ka is an interference engine, but it won't instantly self destruct if the chain jumps a couple of teeth. it will however run like crap, or not run at all.
