No , it's an interference engine ( according to the Gates website )
I believe the Ford Escort 1.9L engine is non-interference.
According to the Gates website , both the SOHC and DOHC engines used in a 1999 Ford Escort ( are interference engines )
Yes. It is a non interference engine. It will not suffer valve damage if the timing belt breaks.
( No ) not according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) The 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1997 Ford Escort IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE
No , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) the 2.0 liter four cylinder engine in a 1997 Ford Escort is an INTERFERENCE ENGINE
I will say it is a non interference engine in the z tech. My research and conversations with ford mechanics say that the z tech Mazda ford engine is the same in the contour/mystique ford escort zx2 and some Mazda labelled vehicles. If info and research says the escort or the countour is non interference then I would believe the same with the Focus.
It's a non interference engine
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the SOHC and DOHC 2.0 liter engines used in the 1999 Ford Escort are interference engines EDIT -- the DOHC engine used in the escort zx2 is a non-interference engine. The Gates website and any other which mention the zx2 as an interference engine are wrong
I have a 1992 ford escort lx hatchback with the 1.9 in it, and they are non interference engines, meaning if the timing belt goes it will not hurt the engine, it just won't run, hope it helps! I have a 1992 Ford Escort LX I need to know the engine size please. If it 1.8 or 1.9
should be non interference
In a 1998 Ford Escort : The 2.0 L - DOHC - 4 cylinder ( IS NOT ) an interference engine ( but the 2.0 L - SOHC - 4 cylinder engine IS an interference engine ) Just check with you local Ford dealer. I know from asking the dealer that the 2.0 single cam is not a interference engine. I have replace broken belts in many escort 93-2000 that it is not a interference engine. You can rotate the cam and crank, with the belt off, with no contact.
The engine is pukka
