Re: 2001 ford focous Head gasket

What engine? 2.0l zetech? It's a dual cam motor and its also an interference motor. That means if you don't time the cams correctly, your valves will contact the pistons and your engine will be hooped again. So when you put the head back on with your new timing belt, take some extra care to make sure you line it up properly.
