Engine Type

[lily]

Newbie here. Just purchased a base '07 Yaris yesterday. She's pretty stock and got 24600 milli-miles on it.

I am just wondering, what kind of engine the Yaris has?

Like, is it an "interference" type or a "non-interference" type engine, for when the timing belt job comes along?

thanks.

P.s. You must love how knowledgeable the peeps are on this forum.

[yaris-me]

So the belt is non-interference and the chain is interference? I didn't know.

[mikenacarato]

thats not true. a timing belt motor can also be an interference motor and chain can be a non-interference motor as well.

:)

[lily]

well thank you all for the quick responses.

mikenacarato...that's true too, some motors can be flip-flopped the other way around.

[IllusionX]

BTW, why did anyone even said "HE"?? Can't you guys see that LILY is a girl's name? Unless you guys think JULIA can be a guy's name... :P

[CtrlAltDefeat]

Yikes, so if the timing chain ever breaks, our engines can be destroyed? :eek: Scary thought...

[tomato]

Ming Chen you found out how to attach pictures! Right on ! :smile::thumbsup:

[yaris-me]

Is that the new Corolla engine? It looks clean and simple. By the size of the alternator, it looks like it can be used for larger cars.:thumbsup:

You gotta learn 'Toyota-speak'


it is not a timing chain


it is a 'chain sub-assembly'
