is the F150 a clearance engine ?

I have a 06 F150 and was wondering if it was going to be O.K. if the timing belt broke.

Well to tell you the truth I'd get a mechanic to look at because you could have bent valves, broken valve heads that can cause holes in the piston, as well as dammage to the cylinder heads and cylinder wals!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION MAN!!!! Best of luck

nope
break a belt, trash a lot of expensive parts.
on the plus side I have never seen a belt break, yet.
and I have some F150 commercial motors with over 3000 hours that still have the original belt.
dont reccomend it but its a very tough piece.
on your engine, balancer failure is gonna get ya.

PM me.

I was just wondering. Nothings wrong with my engine. But after the response, I'll make sure I replace it at 1000 hours !
