You don't the cam runs with a chain on the Duratech engines.
According to Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) the 2.3 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a 1989 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine so there should be no valve damage
As far as I know the 2.3 liter DOHC engine in a 2008 Ford Ranger has a timing CHAIN
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc . ) it IS NOT an interference engine , so no
valve timing diagram of two stroke engine
The Ford 4.0 L Over Head Valve engine has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN The Ford 4.0 L Single Over Head Cam engine has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS
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.
variable valve timing is where the engine changes valve timing based on the driving situation much like ignition timing is changed to meet the needs of the engine in specific situations. in most cars valve timing is static and determined by the timing gear on the camshaft
no
On a 1997 Ford Ranger , 4.0 EFI engine : The PCV valve is on the top of the drivers side engine valve cover , near the rear
On a 2000 Ford Ranger , 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine : The PCV valve is on the drivers side engine valve cover , on the top of the valve cover , near the REAR of the cover
Valve timing is not adjustable on a stock engine. The timing chain is either installer correctly or not.
No, it's a timing chain and I've not heard of them failing. There does seem to be some disagreement if it's an interference or non-interference engine--i.e. will you destroy the valve train if the chain breaks while it's running.
