It is an interference engine
The SOHC 2.0 Ford engine is NOT an interference engine
No , the DOHC engine is not an interference engine ( but the SOHC is an interference engine ) in a 2002 Dodge Stratus 2.4 liter
No, the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2004 Dodge Neon is an interference engine
No , it is an interference engine ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. )
The 3.0L SOHC engine is an interference engine. The 3.0L and 3.2L SHO are non-interference engines. Generally, the 3.0L SOHC is the engine used in the Ford Ranger.
no it is not
The 2.0 L - SOHC - IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE The 2.0 L - DOHC - IS NOT an interference engine
not gospel but 4.0 sohc engine is an interference major damage if timing chain or timing chain tensioner breaks
YesYes
The SOHC ( IS NOT ) an interference engine ( 8 valves ) The DOHC ( IS ) an interference engine ( 16 valves ) for the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the 2.0 liter SOHC and DOHC engines in a 2003 Ford Focus are interference engines
When the car is brand-new, the car is definitely a non-interference engine......however, after the car has been used for many years, carbon will build up causing it to be an interference engine. A non-interference engine is when the pistons don't come in contact with the valves. An interference engine, is just the opposite. If the timing belt is off, it can also affect this 1995-1999 Neon 2liter SOHC 4 cyl engines are Non-Interference engines. This means the vales and pistons do not bang into each other if the timing belt breaks. NOTE: If an engine is non-interference when new, nothing can change that except reconfiguring the way the engine operates.(not possible). If the timing belt breaks, the pistons and the valves do not enter the same space in the cylinder at the same time in non-interference engines. In short, if the belt breaks on a Neon, the valves can bend. (The answer is No---------Not if it is a non-interference engine----You can find out whether or not an engine is interference or non-interference on the Gates drivebelt website www.gates.com and http://www.WikiAnswers.com I am a Dodge mechanic, and I have seen both SOHC and DOHC Neon engine bend valves on a regular basis.
