On a Ford 4.0 liter V6 engine :
The 4.0 liter EFI engine is the Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine
( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " )
For the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " E " )
* or " K " if it is a flex fuel engine
That's the 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) V6 engine in a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT ( the 8th " character " of your VIN is an " E " ) / or you could have the 5.0 liter V8 engine , which is an over head valve design , the 8th character of your VIN would be a " P "
i have a 2.0 liter ford engine and it has 150 hp The 98 Ford twin OHC ZX2 Zetec engine has a rating of 130 HP
All cars since the early 1950s have OverHead Valve engines. Previous designs were called "Flat Head" or "Side Valve" like most lawnmowers still have. An OverHead Cam engine has overhead valves (also known as "valve-in-head") that are operated by a camshaft over the valves in the cylinder head. The valve cover is taller on an OHC engine as it has to cover the camshaft while the shorter OHV valve cover only has to cover the rocker arms. An OHC engine has a chain or belt sprocket on the front of the cylinder head covered completely in the case of a chain (it's oiled from the inside of the engine) and covered by a safety guard in the case of a toothed belt driven camshaft (it's not lubricated at all). You may be able to see the sprocket or belt if it's a belt driven camshaft. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look at your VIN # - if the 8th "character" is an X it's an OHV if the 8th "character" is an E it's the SOHC engine. (Helpfull) Wrong!! Ford stopped using OHV engines in 00 and 01. I have a 2000 explorer 4.0 SOHC vin x, not E. Since ford stopped making OHV engines in 00 and 01. Like stated before, look at your VIN, dont rely on this dude ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the VIN " X " engine and it is the 160 horsepower overhead valve / pushrod design 4.0 liter , V6 engine , I'm sorry but you don't have the 4.0 liter SOHC , VIN " E " engine ( has the original engine from the factory been changed )
No , not according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) The website shows the 2.0 liter SOHC ( and DOHC ) engines in a 1998 Ford Escort as being INTERFERENCE ENGINES
200 horsepower for the 3.0 L - DOHC - V6 ( Duratec ) engine
No. The Ranger/Mustang/Fairmont 2.3L are OHC and only came in RWD cars Nowhere near similar

In a 1997 Ford Taurus : The 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine is an OHV / pushrod design The 3.0 liter " Duratec " V6 engine is a DOHC design
The 1992 Ford Explorer is the 4.0 liter over head valve engine The 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " , the 4.0 liter over head cam engine came out in 1997 , the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " E "
Over Head Cam
Part of the answers is that the SOCH engine is the one with the sprk plug in the front only and the COCH engine is the twin cam 16 v. sprk plug on top
the knock sensor is located toward the front of the engine block and it"s only used on ohc v6 engines. good luck!
