Zetec = def non interference (despite massive amounts of incorrect info in many databases)
SVT = interference
Duratec = interference
Breaking the timing chain is not the only way to damage the valves in an interference engine like the Duratec. Jamie, I'm sure I've told you what happened to my '07 at Dunnville - every valve bent and lots of other damage - required replacement of the whole engine; LOL but at least the timing chain didn't break.
