This is an interference engine. In most cases the head as well and the pistons will be damaged.
According to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts etc. ) No , it is not an interference engine
No, this is an interference engine. You will have severe engine damage if the belt breaks.
The Ford Motor Company made the Ford Escort zx2 2.0 motor, a "non interferance engine" meaning when the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage your engine components. -Antwon00
The 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 engine has a no-interference design. This means that?æ there is enough clearance between the piston and the valves. Therefore, when the timing belt fails, no damage will occur to the engine.
The timing belt is located behind the timing belt cover on the front of the engine. To get the cover off the top front motor mount must be removed to gain enough clearance to get it out.
Yes. It is a non interference engine. It will not suffer valve damage if the timing belt breaks.
A broken timing belt on a Ford ZX2 will not damage the engine. The 2.0 ZETEC engine used in the ZX2 is a non-interference engine which means the pistons will not come into contact with the valves should the belt break. Because of this the valves will not be damaged and no engine damage will occur.
I believe the answer is no. I have a 1994 Escort LX with the 1.9 liter engine. I broke the timing belt, and there was no damage to the engine. Yes, it is no. I had the same experience last night and nothing happened to the engine. I have a 94 Escort LX with 1.9L engine too.
If this is the European Escort This engine is classed as an interference engine. In the event of belt failiure the valves meet the pistons causing the valves to bend and possibly other engine damage.
If you're concerned a out bent valves after the timing belt snaps at speed the answer is yes it does have a clearance engine and you should have no trouble replacing the timing belt and continuing on your way.. I mean other then the lack of space to work to replace the belt its a straight forward fix...
The timing chain for a 1993 Ford escort is located on the front of the engine. It is under the timing chain cover.
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) (Yes ) both the DOHC and SOHC 2.0 liter four cylinder engines in a 1999 Ford Escort ( ARE INTERFERENCE ENGINES )
