Ford's scheduled maintenance guide for the 1997 Ford Ranger states to INSPECT the timing belt ( 2.3 L only ) at 120,000 miles. Wvafan , another contributor to this website and also a Ford mechanic/technician likes to change the timing belt at 90,000 miles I believe . ( Gates and Dayco websites - they manufacture timing belts - recommend every 60,000 miles )
show me a picture and diagram of 1997 ford ranger timing belt replacement
It's not a regular maintenance item like a timing belt is I'm not a mechanic / technician but if you are having the engine rebuilt you would want to change the timing chain and gears Also , if the timing chain was causing some kind of problem
does a 1997 1.5l maxda protege have a timing belt or timing chain. When should i change it.
chain
u need a scanner to set it
I have a 96 ford ranger 2.3. On the crank timing, does the mark on the plastic cover TC mean top dead center?
No , the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder in a 1997 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine ( according to the Gates website )
160000km
$0. It has a timing chain.
It has no Timing Belt, it has a Timing Chain.
