There is contradictory information out there about whether the zetec is a non-interference engine. (Note: just because someone has a timing belt failure and doesn't lose any valves does not definitively prove it's non-interference.)

. . . Two zetec Contours, two blown head gaskets... for some reason I have a Japanese car now. anybody in California want a Diehard Gold 100 month battery? inquire by PM.
