Ford Contour While only built on a short time span, the Contour was very popular with people of all driving styles, from the base model making for a great family car, to the SVT making a great track toy.

Timing

I just replaced the timing belt tensioner on my 97 contour 2.0L DOHC. Now the car won't start can the timing be that much off that it is causing the car not to start? I only remove the belt off the camshaft so the crankshaft should not have moved right?

RE: Timing

I've tryed this before and the crank can move.[hr]You will have to re align the belt.
