Original Message Feb 22, 2010 8:56 pm

I notice robin subaru portable generators have ohv and ohc on the 2009 models.Is one more reliable or more expensive to produce??Why did they change for the 09 models?I see most generators use ohv engines.

By "interference" type I'm assuming you mean if the belt breaks, the valves may make contact with the piston(s). Right? I really don't know if it is or not. I've never had it apart. Don't really plan to either as long as all is well.
