I think i paid 150 for a cambelt on my last TT that price compared to a new engine price, just dont drive it at all until its changed. is there any stickers on the engine with any dates of change on?

no dates

 

i,m confused one saying its OK to drive , another saying don't drive ummm i,m going out of my mind here :/

[Scooter]

that sounds interesting thanks

 

any chance of a picture of the belt would be great to see it would be appreciated

 

pic one shows its a new belt

pic two shows the smooth to slice/gap change just like your belt.

pic three shows its extensive! (The side of mine has more with a gap than a completely smooth rubber)

I would nt chance it mate. when i did mine i found mine had nt been done but some said it had, i had the car trailered to the garage

[d_d]

I noticed this slit inside the belt also, And my new one had the same i installed it and not had any problems, Id of guessed from the pic it was ok from post 1

Hello guys Girls

 

bought my Supra TT 4 weeks ago was told the timing belt was last change @ 70 Miles its now done only 94k miles

 

anyway just doing an inspection to all belts and did notice the timing belt looks scary wtf i said this shouldn't be like this if changed at 70k miles i am i have ordered a new one and going to change asap just wanted your thoughts IE: should i drive Supra to collect timing belt from dealer or just get the bus

 

thanks all

 

Andy

 

There's probably thousands more miles left in that, so long as no teeth are missing or partly missing. No way would I be getting the bus

Same here, non interferance so who cares, as long as you are in the AA;)

Check this out guys,

 

 

Forgot how to embed it properly. Remind me and I'll edit it?

 

Didn't work last time I tried it but done it before once.

[Super-Dr]

how do i know mine is the non interferance

 

Edit

 

Non turbo maybe is a interferance

 

and TT is a non interferance

 

is that correct

From what I have read, both GE and GTE engines are non-interference. I can't see how but that's another matter!

 

The pistons must have pretty deep valve reliefs to accommodate open valves, in that case.

Thanks!

i have just been informed by a very helpful member ; )

 

Quote~Unless you have 280 or larger cams, which are really full race , all 2JZ engines are non interferance.

So basically, the engines aren't developing anything like their potential airflow but are somewhat idiot-proof, so to speak!

 

I'd rather live dangerously, so Brian Crower, here I come!

If it breaks your stuck by the side of the rd waiting for a recovery truck, let alone the danger of suddenly losing power which if your on a busy rd or motorway could be quite dangerous.

If my cam belt was like this i personally would rather get the belt in my second car or have the dealer post me the parts.

[Super-Dr]

parts have arrived thanks all for the advice appreciated

Be sure to atleast watch the video series below and also get yourself an engine repair manual if you haven't already, either from Toyota or on cd or download on eBay, as these give step by step instructions.

 

Good luck with install.

Not at all, most if not all engines designed to be sold in the us are non interferance, 280 cams are far too much for the street, id go for 264's which are still non interferance;)

Buying cams for a DOHC engine from a country where anything newer than a push rod iron block V8 is generally viewed as slack jawed as a hydrogen fuel cell engine is definitely living dangerously

Don't worry Chris, the build won't be for atleast another 2 years while I'm rebuilding the Typhoon engine.

 

Who would you recommend then? What manufacturer would get your Dollar, if not Brian Crower? My local transmission shop says they have a good reputation.

[Chris Wilson]

I would stick with HKS, or if Tomei list MKIV cams, they are fine, too. Piper cams also make decent products and now list the 2JZ-GTE
