If the timing belt broke on a 2001 Ford ZX2 2.0 dohc is the motor junk or are they non interference motors?
Junk, it is an interference motor. You need to replace the belt as recommended. For those who don't understand, some motors just die when the timing belt breaks. Nothing bad happens, just need a tow to a shop to get it replaced. On an "interference" engine, there is no clearance inside the engine between the pistons and the valves if they are not in time. If the timing belt breaks, the pistons slam against the valves, destroying the engine.
