No , the 1998 Ford Explorer came with ( 3 ) engines :
The 4.0 liter over head valve / pushrod design engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " )
The 4.0 liter single over head cam ( SOHC , the 8th " character " of the vin is an " E " )
and the 5.0 liter V8 engine which is an over head valve / pushrod design engine , the 8th " character " of the VIN is a " P "
If it's a zx2 it's a dual overhead cam. It it's an LX SPI it's a single overhead cam.
Where is the dual overhead cam located or the air temp charge sensor?
No Ford Crown Victoria or Police intercaptor has dual overhead cams. The dual overhead cam engines were only used in Mustangs and Lincoln MK8's.
DOHC
The Mercury Sable and the Ford Taurus will have DOC in printed on the engine if they are dual overhead cam engines. The symbol should be on the top of the engine.
If you change the whole engine.
SOHC--Single OverHead Cam DOHC -- Dual OverHead Cam
The answer is very dependent on which engine - Ford used at least 2 different engines that year, including the DUAL overhead CAM (DOHC).
It's an over head valve engine ( OHV ) it isn't an over head cam engine
it is a dohc engine.
The 4.2 L - V6 engine used in the 1997 Ford F-150 is an OHV ( overhead valve not an overhead cam ) if that is the engine you are referring to ?
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) both the 2.0 liter DOHC and SOHC engines used in a 1998 Ford Escort are INTERFERENCE engines
