Replaced timing belt on this interference motor. Instruction sheet (step 4) says, "Remove plug from cylinder block and install crankshaft timing pin."
WHERE is this plug located?
Thank you for any help... it is greatly appreciated.

this "interference motor" being a 1998 Contour SE 2.0, 4 cyl.

zetecs are not an interference motor.

zetecs are not an interference motor.

Ditto.

Than you for the feedback.
1998 Contour 2.0L, 4 cyl. dual overhead cam, bio-fuel (alternative fuel tank is removed).
I was going by the timing belt's instruction sheet saying that this engine has been identified an interference motor and should be inspected for engine damage. Two valves were bent when the timing belt broke, so I had that repaired.
Step #4 says to put the crankshaft timing pin into the cylinder block plug and I haven't found that plug yet.

did you go to a shop and have these 'bent valves' replaced?

most shops will rip people off good on that one.. I bought a contour off a guy a couple of years ago, the timing belt snapped, he took it to a shop and they soaked him nearly 1500$ to replace the engine that didn't need it.... I snapped a belt in my other 96' and replaced it and its still running, that was over 80k ago.

check out the zetec maintenece section over at www.contour.org in the forums section for more help, you won't get much here except from either me or beyondloaded, not many contour people around here.

Took it to napa...maybe they only cleaned up the valves.....they gave us the impression that they repaired 2 valves. Great.
'Guy at autodata helped with the plug situation...gotta be getting close to gettin' this MIL's (mother-in-law's) car out of the garage!
Thanks for the info....it's been helpful.
