Default Re: Im about to cry.... Is the 4.0 an interference motor?

I broke that bolt on my 04. I didn't know it was left handed threads...lol Anyway I just replaced the bolt. It didn't hurt the head or cam. I have been driving it for months now...see avatar... Anyway yes it is an interference motor and caution needs to be taken when turning it by hand. What ever piece you dropped will have to be removed one way or another. The only thing I can think of you could drop is the washer of the bolt. The reason the timing jumped is because of the tensioner. You can check out my sport trac thread for a little info and pics...
