timing belt broke

[karter]

I have a friend who had the timing belt break on his 2.0 liter. What are the odds that the valves got into the pistons and did any damage?

Zero, the Zetech is a non interference engine.

Yeah, I'm getting mine done next week. You can hear it flapping against the plastic cover when it first starts up. It's due; 86k on the clock, and it sat for about 8 months before I bought it last year.

there is a time/age replacement as well as mileage ercommendation on the timing belts. also when you do it ford did not have a bulletin but in the ford circle it is a common practice to add a washer to each of the bolts for the top timing belt cover between the cover and the cylinder head as even when there was not a problem the belts would sometimes still tap the cover or rub. GOOD LUCK

Mike, that's an excellent idea. It certainly can't hurt.
