What the hell type of help was that? Read the forum rules.
In my non professional opinion your motor will be fine. You may want to wait for a resident expert to chime in.

Hate to tell you but you were trying to correct his spelling errors and you spelled "maybe" wrong.

You are probably alright. There have been others on this site that had the belt break while they were driving it and the engine was ok.

Doesn't the Zetec have a chain? I know the duratec's do, but I think your engine will be alright! The engine is set up so the pistons won't snap the valves (thankfully), so you should be fine. I've heard it's a little difficult to find TDC due to the tight quarters that the engine is in. Good luck and keep it as long as you can. It's still a great car!
