Timing belt problem
My timing belt broke going down the road yesterday. Anyone had any trouble with their timing belt breaking while driving?

see nothing related to such subject
if it's the old 2.3 I'm pretty sure that's a interference motor so if it broke while he was driving then yes his engine is fucked

5000 posts and you still don't know that Lima engines are non interference???????? I thought everyone knew that.
Break a timing chain on a 2.3 Duratec and it's lights out.

Re: Timing belt problem
just checked his user profile, it's a 93...
and i'm guessing it's indeed the 4cyl... cause all the v6's are timing chains, right?
