Want this question answered?
Not without heavy modification. The '97s only had the 2.0 liter SOHC engine (same as most Neon's).
Yes , according to the Gates website both the SOHC and DOHC - 2.0 liter engines used in the 2002 Ford Focus models are interference engines
No the srt4 is a non-interference motor. I have the srt4 on a 05 cruiser
The 2.0 Liter SOHC and DOHC engines used in the Neon are interference engines. If the timing belt broke while driving there is about a 6 in 10 chance a valve came in contact with the piston.
not gospel but 4.0 sohc engine is an interference major damage if timing chain or timing chain tensioner breaks
No, the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2004 Dodge Neon is an interference engine
YesYes
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) The 2.0 liter Dual Over Head Cam ( and the SOHC ) engines in a 1998 Ford Escort ARE INTERFERENCE ENGINES
Either the 4.6 liter - SOHC - V8 or the 5.4 liter - SOHC - V8 , that was the 2 engines available
The 2.0 liter four cylinder engines ( SOHC and DOHC ) used in a 1998 Ford Escort in North America are NOT INTERFERENCE ENGINES ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etcetera )
The SOHC ( IS NOT ) an interference engine ( 8 valves ) The DOHC ( IS ) an interference engine ( 16 valves ) for the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder
Yes, it is not pretty if the belt breaks.
