( Yes ) according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera )
the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1998 Ford Contour IS NOT an

Does the 2000 ford contour have a none interference motor?
The 4-cylinder 2.0 liter engine is a non-interference engine, in that the pistons have "cutouts" in the tops to prevent the valves hitting them in case the timing belt breaks. The 2.5 liter V6 does not require this, since it uses a timing chain, rather than a belt.
Whenthe timing belt on a 1997 contour breaks does it bend the valves?
According to Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) the 2.0 L - DOHC - 4 cylinder engine in a 1997 Ford Contour is NOT an interference engine - so the answer would be NO
Do the valves hit the pistons when the timing belt goes out on a 1995 ford contour?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I would say ( no ) According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1995 Ford Contour ( IS NOT AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE )
What happens if the timing belt on a Santa Fe breaks?
this is an interferance engine meaning that when the timing belt breaks the pistons and the valves will slam into each other requiring at the very least a complete cylinder head overhaul if not a new engine.
Does the 2000 ford contour sedan have an interference or non interference engine?
I assume you're talking about the 4-cylinder engine, and yes, it is a non-interference engine. The pistons have "cutouts"to prevent the valves hitting them in case the timing belt breaks. This doesn't apply to the V6, of course, since it has a timing chain, rather than a belt.

When the timing belt breaks on a 1987 Toyota MR2 do the valves hit the pistons?
No , the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 1987 Toyota MR2 is not an interference engine
Does the 2000 ford contour se have a timing belt?
The 2.0 L - DOHC - 4 cylinder engine in a 2000 Ford Contour has a timing belt
What happens if a 1995 Honda Civic ex timing belts breaks?
Usually if the timing belt breaks you have to replace the head or the bent valves. Sometimes the damage can be much worse and the entire engine can be wiped out. When the timing belt breaks, your cams and valves stop moving but the pistons don't. The pistons will smash against the stopped valves and bent them and on some occasions can break pistons as well.
Does the 1997 Ford Contour have timing chain or timing belt?
The 2.0 4-cylinder has a timing belt: the 2.5 V6 has a timing chain.
What is a interference engine?
an engine where, in the event that the timing is off or if the timing belt breaks, the pistons can collide with the valves and actually do damage.
Do you need a new engine if the timing chain breaks on your 1994 Ford Courier?
Damage is only done if the motor is an "interference" design. ie the valves and the pistons overlap in the same place, only kept from colliding by the timing chain. When the timing chain breaks on a interference design, valves and pistons smash together. If it's not an interference design, the pistons and valve won't come into contact if the timing chain breaks, so odds are no internal damage done.
