Escort 95 timing belt replacement

Oh, yeah. Nope, not in the UK.

Indeed. I am in upstate NY. The car I had originally came from Utah.

That explains why the set of engines you listed didn't at all match what I saw here :-). So I still don't know for sure, then, that the engine my friend has now isn't interference, but I don't think it is. I don't recall ever seeing zetec stamped on it, and you say that would have been obvious if it was.

-D

Hi

Ive heard new fords need their belts changing at 100:000miles so I would say for a 95 Escort 60:000 sounds right, remember leaving this belt any longer will give you an headache 'sooner' than later - get the job done as soon as possible this could cost you in the long ran.

Don't listen to myths - belts break at startup and driving along.........most of the time you don't get chance to hear a noise.

Bill

It is a good idea to change the water pump (radiator pump as you call it) these in the past have caused belts to break.

Bill

They have to cover their own backs - if they change the belt and the pumps locks up - you are likely to blame them.

Bill

Don't say things like this unless you can back it up -
