There is a big difference between the two as fas as any internal engine damage the is concerned! .. Many folks get confused about the term 'interference engine' .... 'ALL' engines can be made to encounter internal interference if the right conditions are meet!

Hello, Yes, Nissan engines tend to be interference engines. The damage is normally limited to a few bent valves, but additional damage may be present. Inspection is required.
