I believe that this is the same engine used in my 2000 Ford Contour, which is a non-interference engine (luckily) as I'm having to replace the timing belt now after losing about 8 inches of teeth! Robert G.

Where is the temp sensor on 2000 ford focus zetec engine
From 2000 to 2004 they all had a belt that must be replaced at 120,000 miles. The DOHC engine is an interference engine. The SOHC engine is not. Starting in 2005 they have a chain.
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.
