Does a 1999 frod contour have hydraulic lifters or mechanical lifters
Both the 2.0 liter 4-cylinder, and the 2.5 liter V6 are overhead cam engines. While all years of the V6 us hydraulic tappets, the 4-cylinder engines varied. From 1998 and earlier, they had hydraulic tappets. From 1999 on, they used shimmed mechanical tappets. Adjusting valve clearance on the later engines is a little involved, and, if you're not familiar with the procedure, it is perhaps best left to a professional mechanic who is familiar with the engine.
