The thing is I am not sure when was the last time it was changed so I am thinking to wait until the timing belt stops functioning and then replace it, but not so sure it is a good idea. Thank you Double J Veteran / Moderator Oct 13, 2008, 11:14 AM Post #2 of 5 (1769 views) Re: timing belt Sign In I am not sure if this is an interference engine or not( my guess is that it is). If it is an interference engine and the belt breaks/jumps time,its game over for the engine,especially at this mileage. I would never ever wait until a timing belt breaks to replace it....It probably has a recommended replacement interval at 60,000 miles.I would definitely replace it right away since you dont know history on it.

Sign In ************* SOHC engine is interference and DOHC is not by that chart. All strictly suggest every 60k for replacement regardless of appearance!

Sign In   I am not user if this is a sohc or dohc engine , all I know it is 1.6L I4 MPI..how do I find out which type it is...also the car sat ouside the driveway for 8 months would that have a big effect on the timing belt life...? thanx Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 19, 2008, 3:05 AM Post #5 of 5 (1739 views) Re: Toyota 1.6 timing belt interference or not? Sign In If the car's worth a damn it's worth putting in a new one. This car is pushing 20 years old already and time does play a part in rubber parts not just miles. Packaged, climate controled storage of parts (rubber and the like) fares ok but once installed it has been subject to heat and cold extremes and that alone shortens its life. "S"OHC or "D"OHC means Single or Double Camshaft design "O" = Overhead. There should be a marking somewhere or just glance at the rocker cover to see if it looks like it could house two cams or just one. I still wouldn't risk it and at least take a look at the belt with cover(s) removed. This may not be your engine but note the "double" cams in this Toyota head and spark plugs go thru the middle if that helps you, T (This post was edited by Tom Greenleaf on Oct 19, 2008, 3:11 AM)   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
