Re: 1998 escort 2.0 sohc timing
The 2.0 is just like the 1.9 engine.
There is a timing mark near the center of the cam sprocket that will align with a mark on the head. The timing mark on the crank must be aligned with the mark on the water pump housing.
I believe this engine has the crank position sensor mounted on the back side, just below the oil filter. When aligned correctly, at TDC the 9th tooth from the gap in the harmonic balancer will be aligned with the crank sensor.
Rotate the engine a couple times by hand after everything is together to be sure nothing slips then put it all back together.
