2.0 s.o.h.c.
I am curious if any Ford technicians have any info on these being a junk engine? Is there a problem with valve seats dropping out? Is it another problem causing the chaos that seems so many of these engines are junk?

They are junk. Sorry. Check other forums. Its not if, its when it will fail. I already did the spi>zetec swap. Mine failed twice. 90k, then again at 120k miles.

Its a machine, designed to fail, not last. Its a ford.
Common for Timing belt to fail, water pump fail, about 100,000. (if not sooner).
That means the pully's & tensioner bearings need replaced about then too.
The SOHC is a non-interference engine, so you can drive til it breaks, then fix
by replaceing all of the above.
