No, it is an interference engine. I know this because I just pulled the heads on one that broke the timing belt and the valves are bent and/or broken.
Yes
Front of the engine, behind the motor mount.
NO. ONLY 1996 TO A 2000 WILL WORK. THERE IS STILL SMALL CHANGES TO DO BETWEEN THOSE YEARS. HOPE THIS HELPS.
Requires more information, what size is the engine and is it an automatic or manual transmission?
4 cyl, it is where the upper hose hooks to the engine.6 cyl, it is where the lower radiator hose hooks to the engine.
No
Aluminium.
Is a 1996 mercury tracer 1.9 a interference engine?
It really all depends, I have a 97 startus 2.5L, and it pushes out about 168hp stock.
The 3.5L is a non-interference.
should be non interference
It is my understanding that Villager engine are non-interference.
