If you are asking if this engine is an interference engine, the answer is no. The 2.3 Liter Ford 4 cylinder has a belt but if it breaks no engine damage will occur. You will however be stranded. The belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
timing CHAIN
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
In a 2002 Ford Ranger : The 2.3 liter DOHC four cylinder engine has a timing CHAIN
The 3.0 liter " VULCAN " V6 used in a Ford Ranger has a timing chain
the mazda b3000 is basically a ford ranger. the 3000 designates the 3.0 v6 motor and it has a timing chain.
YES , that is the 4.0 L - OHV - V6 engine that has 1 timing chain at the front In 2001 Ford started using the 4.0 L - SOHC - V6 engine in the Ranger that has 3 timing chains - 2 at the front of the motor and 1 at the back of the motor on the passenger side
No. You can break the timing belt and not have any problems from valves getting bent. The caveat is that you don't have after market high compression pistons installed. If it is an unmolested factory motor, just change the timing belt and forget about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 2.3 L in a 2002 Ford Ranger is a DOHC engine ( DURATEC ? ) that uses a timing CHAIN . I don't know if it is an interference motor or not
timing belt is a likely suspect.
The cam (timing) belt should last for the life of the vehicle. A Ford Ranger has a smaller motor, that with the right care, should not have to have the cam belt changed.
No , it is not an interference engine ( according to Gates , they manufacture timing belts etc. )
If your asking because you broke a timing belt and you've replaced it and its not running that well now. you didnt hurt your valves you just need to go over it and check to see if you have the valve timing correct. And to answer your question, it is not an interference motor
