I'm a newbie.
Is the 95 2.0L Zetec 16V engine an interference engine? I've searched Google and came up with conflicting posts. So I figured I come to the experts here.
I recently aquired a 95 Contour with 2.0L and automatic for my brother who has no money and just starting a low paying job.
Any way. I pulled the timing belt inspection cover and can see the belt has small check cracks in it. I figure it won't last long before it breaks. Is this an engine killer when it snaps?
I've been reading a few how to replace the belt articles and found out about loosening the cam sprokets when tentioning the belt. I'm OK with that. Sounds good.
How big of a job is this entire timing belt issue?
I build and drag race rear wheel drive cars so this transverse mounted engine is new to me. How long does it take to do? Anyone in Michigan, near Pontiac care to do it ? If so , how much do you charge?
