edmunds.com, cars.com, carpoint,etc. often have wrong information, yes you should be claiming more. And changing your timing belt is only needed if your current timing belt is getting worn. It keeps your engine in time (keeps cams at right spots to open the valves) and runs the water pump (on pre98s anyways).

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

I have a 98.5 zetec and I noticed that mine has a cover that goes over the plug boots on the valve covers with a sensor that runs through it. Is it because of the difference in years? Is my zetec different than his? If so what has changed? I have seen a few zetecs but never one with the cover and sensor like mine.

ignore the child.
what the little boy is trying to say is VCT is not a good thing for mods.... it doesn't respond to mods like a non VCT Zetec does.
to remove it is not an easy thing, you can't just flip a switch.

I believe the VCT was for emissions purposes. Zetecs with VCT don't have an EGR setup.
