The first generation Sportage (1994-2002) with 2 liter DOHC was

engine damage and replacing the belt (don't forget the pulleys and
water pump) will get you back on the road.

Asked in American Cars, Timing Belts and Chains, Ford Ranger XLT, Honda Accord LX
How do you time 2000 ford focus 2.0 after the belt has broken?
If this is a DOHC 2.0 it is an Interference engine and you may
have serious engine damage. If it is a SOHC 2.0, then you are OK as
it is a non-interference engine. If you have replaced the belt, you
need to check for engine damage. The belt should have been replaced
at 120,000 miles. I suggest a professional look at this, especially
if it is the DOHC, as replacing the belt incorrectly will do more
damage.

Just check with you local Ford dealer. I know from asking the

belt off, with no contact.
