Is the 4.0 Ford Explorer engine interference?
No, the 2.3L EcoBoost and 3.0L V6 engines in the 2020 and newer Ford Explorers are non-interference engines. This means that if the timing belt (or chain in the case of the 3.0L) breaks, the pistons are less likely to hit the valves. However, while less likely, significant internal damage is still possible.
