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.
I believe that this is the same engine used in my 2000 Ford Contour, which is a non-interference engine (luckily) as I'm having to replace the timing belt now after losing about 8 inches of teeth! Robert G.

The weight of a Ford Contour will vary depending on the year and model of the Contour. A 2000 Ford Contour has a curb weight of 3,126 pounds.
Your 2000 Ford Contour cannot reverse because of a transmission failure problem.
