I am getting conflicting stories about the timing belt on my 1996 T100 , SR5 with V6 Auto.
1) If the belt snaps it will result in major damage to the engine but the manual that I have states "Toyota trucks do not have interference engines; where damage will occur if the belt snaps?2) I have also been told that this engine has some sort of plate/or? that can be removed to allow inspection of the belt without replacement?
Can anyone clarify these issues for me? Thanks
