interference engines... all makes...

[Nick Lawrence]

I need to know.............why would it be interference at speed  and not at 
idle?  Wouldn't that require that the valves, lifters and cams weren't 
staying in contact, and I can't see Audi or anyone designing this on 
purpose. Lots of noise and wear. Valve float is not good for power or 
longevity.
