Timing Belt

If it wasnt advertised as a selling point , which it is then it probably was not changed and should be.

Even if it had had been changed at 60k, it's due for another change. Have it changed.

Josh, yours is due at 90K intervals. At that range, I'd do a water pump too. Next time in will be 180K. Use OE parts, especially the water pump.

also make sure ALL seals are replaced on that side of the engine while the belt is being done, it wont add that much to the cost and will make sure you have no leaks pop up later.

I've seen stickers put on the timing cover with a date and mileage. Or sometimes it's written somewhere in marker. Chances are it wasnt changed if you bought it at 90k.

Is the 1MZFE engine an interference engine? Some people in this thread say that they bent valves on non-interference engines. How is that possible?

In news: snipped-for-privacy@posting.google.com, Scot being of bellicose mind posted:

It's not possible. To qualify as a non-interference engine, the engine must be capable of being spun with no cam drive device in operation.

Scot, that engine is not an interference engine, but technically, any engine could be with carbon build up. The new 3.3 or 5VZFE is an interference engine.

That engine should of read 5MZFE (04 Camry/Solara), not the 5VZFE (Tacoma/4Runner)
