[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 57711, member: 751"] Well I am a mechanic.The Toyota engines are whats called interference engines.This means that if the timing belt breaks the valves will contact the pistons.This can lead to bent valves and guides,cracked piston,bent connecting rod,and a spun rod bearing.I highly recommend the timing belt replacement.I would suggest to a customer to replace the water pump also.The reason for water pump replacement is because it is driven by the timing belt on some engines.All the money is for labor.It takes a lot of time to strip everything off the front of the engine to replace a timing belt.Doing the water pump may save money in the long run but it's a toss up.
