Just after a list or way of easily identifying 'zero clearance motors'. What I mean by zero clearance is a motor that will destroy valves if the cam-belt snaps. From what I know most old family cars with belts are safe (not a zero clearance). Most sports cars are zero tolerance. But what about modern family cars? I was told a daewoo nubira is zero tolerance. I have also been told zero tolerance is only common in high compression motors (how does a daewoo nubira fit in this category?) I'm a bit confused as you can see. At the moment I can tell a car has a belt if it has a plastic timing cover as a general rule, and chains don't just snap without warning. Just after this info so I don't buy a zero clearance motor in my next car.
