It IS an interference engine , according to the Gates website
Yes!
2.0 liter DOHC - Zetec engine
As far as I know the 2000 Ford Escort sedan has a SOHC engine rated at ( 114 horsepower ) and the Ford Escort ZX2 has a DOHC - Zetec engine rated at ( 130 horsepower ) * both engines are 2.0 liters in size *
Depending on which model of Ford Escort , either the 2.0 liter SOHC or the 2.0 liter DOHC Zetec engine
2.0 liter ( I believe that is the DOHC - Zetec engine ) on YouTube
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the SOHC and DOHC 2.0 liter engines used in the 1999 Ford Escort are interference engines EDIT -- the DOHC engine used in the escort zx2 is a non-interference engine. The Gates website and any other which mention the zx2 as an interference engine are wrong
According to the Gates website , both the SOHC and DOHC engines used in a 1999 Ford Escort ( are interference engines )
According to the 2002 Ford Escort Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft FL-2005 ) engine oil filter for the 2.0 liter DOHC - Zetec engine
Yes , it's an interference engine ( according to the Gates website )
Yes, both the SOHC and DOHC engines are interference engines. The belt must be replaced every 120,000 miles.
According to the 1999 Ford Escort owners manual : ( 5W-30 engine oil is used in the 2.0 liter SOHC engine ) and also the 2.0 liter DOHC , Zetec engine
