I was trying to locate A 2.3L head, but could not so I bought a running engine from the wrecking yard with 123,000 miles. I am getting ready to install it and I have a new timing belt to install. I am checking the timing, (as they told me they ran the engine before I purchased it). But after turning it manually the marks are off. When I put the crank key way at 12:00 the auxiliary mark is four teeth before the diamond and the cam mark is four teeth from the arrow. Is this the correct way to time a 1996 2.3L Ford Ranger? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I broke my timing belt in my 1996 Ford Ranger 2.3L 4 Cyl. I was wondering what the possiblilty was that I bent any valves? Thanks you

Hi there,

From the information I have to hand, this is a non interference type engine so you should not have any valve problems.
