According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc . ) it IS NOT an interference
engine , so no
No , the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder in a 1997 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine ( according to the Gates website )
No , it is not an interference engine
That depends on the engine and what belt (timing or accessory).
Yes.
I don't believe so , it is not an interference engine
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) The 3.3 liter V6 engine in a 1999 Mercury Villager does have a timing BELT The engine IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE So , if the timing belt breaks , engine damage will occur
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
It is an interference engine by design so if the timing belt breaks it will be seriously damaged. The valves will be bent and the engine will need repairs costing upwards of $1500
No the engine will not be damaged. It happened to me, when i asked the mechanic why it didn't damage the engine he said it was because of the way Ford designed the engine.
On a 2000 Ford Ranger the only engine that uses a timing BELT is the 2.5 liter four cylinder engine ( I have no idea of what you mean by a " delay switch " )
Don't worry, if your timing belt breaks your engine is going to stop very quickly. Of course, it may be damaged.
