You are correct. Get a piece of steel that is the same size of the slots andslide it in. It is off set so it will only go one way and rest on the valve cover surface of the head.
And by the way i think that is an interferance engine. Most likely bent some valvesWrong. Zetec is a non-interference motor. Belt breaks- replace it. I know mine is a pre-98 (non VCT) but heres how I do it First make sure piston 1 and 4 are TDC, (top dead center).
You can check this by taking the valve cover off, and spark plugs. And sticking a screw driver in the #1 piston to see if it is TDC, if its not you can either crank the car till it is or you can take a rachet are turn the crank pulley to rotate the pistons, ONLY DO THIS CLOCKWISE.
Next, since the belts off you can adjust the cams. This seems hard and tricky- but its truley easy.
One you have them lined up put the peice of metal in the cams to lock them and put the belt on. Your best bet is look at a manual for the car, it will tell you how to replace it step by step. I can't help you much because changing my timing belt and changing your timing belt are two different things, they are totally different. EDIT: heres a how to I found, should prove to be very useful to you. If you have the Zetec engine.the one with the VCT(Variable Camshaft Timing) system, it's almost mandatory that you will have to read the Ford TSB(technical service bulletin) number 98-9-8 thoroughly! It is very thorough concerning proper timing belt replacement procedure while it's explaining replacing the VCT Solenoid. Other Ford TSB's related to the issue are 00-3-7, 99-25-4 and 03-15-14.
For those new to what TSB's are-they are simply pieces of information released from the manufacturer concerning proper replacement procedures and unique and helpful pieces of information specific to a particular make and model.even engine size of a vehicle. You can learn alot from them. Regarding any special tools.you will need an e-20(reverse torx) socket to loosen the exhaust camshaft sprocket from the camshaft after the oil plug cover is removed from the exhaust camshaft sprocket(this is an special oil & spring filled sprocket!). I don't have the e-20(reverse torx) socket, so I sufficed by using the snuggest fitting 12pt. Socket(use standard not metric.standard fits ever so slightly better)-I forget the exact standard 12pt.
