Im sad to announce that the timing belt on my celica is now broken. Not too bad for going 160,000 miles on the orginal timing belt. This is either going to lead to either
1. new timing belt, head work on the 5sfe head, new clutch and new seals. or 2. 2.2 stroker with the 3sgte head. still trying to find parts for it. i bought a 3sgte head on ebay for $150. so if anyone has some stuff i need. let me know. either way im going to be doing alot of stuff my my celica soon. -------------------- 94 celica GT

It has nothing to do with belt or chain...it has to do with engine design. Our engines are non-interference meaning when the belt breaks the valves do not smack the pistons from the timming jumping so far off. Most engines are interference whether they be belt or chain it makes no difference. Chains tend to go longer and usually they dont have 60k change intervals. Chains do break though and they can stretch causing bent vavles.
