I was looking at the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera )
and I chose the 1997 Ford Aspire ( the website shows that the 1.3 liter
engine is NOT an interference engine , so the answer to your question would
be YES )
It is not supposed to be an interference motor, HOWEVER at high RPMs the connecting rods may stretch enough that it BECOMES an interference engine, causing some major problems if you break the timing belt or chain at high speeds of rotation. The clearance is very small on a factory engine. If the heads have been decked or the pistons are not stock it may be intereference.
No , according to the gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) it is an interference motor in the Mercury Tracer
Yep non interference. I know cause I am majic and I just know my stuff
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
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.
Unless this is non-American, the Festiva's last year was 1993. Otherwise the fuel pump is in the gas tank. The name was switched to "Aspire", along with a complete redisign in 1994
what are some non examples of electric motor
The main difference between hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles is that hybrid vehicles use a bank of batteries along with an electric motor to power the car.
for ever! just take care of it. non turbo dont add a turbo its a low comp motor turbo will make it a high comp motor and blow your gaskets keep it stock u will see 500k plus i promise you that
I believe the 1.9L is an intereference engine for both sohc and dohc. The timing chain is good for 150k miles or so before I'd replace it unless you hear it rattling around in there.

The 2.2L (5S-FE) motor is non-interference. The 2.2L (5S-FE) motor is non-interference.
