Nonseize engine....
Any techies know for sure.....
My hunch is we have the old school timing BELT, and that its like the older 1992 Celica and the engine doesn't explode when the belt snaps.
Thanks in advance

your right Nissan has been using chains since 1998 or so on all their v6 and 8's.
not too sure about the lowly 4 bangers.
the MAIN thing is if its a full seize engine like Nissans are.
unless it s a non seize design, you can kiss 4 thousand bucks goodbye in repairs the belt OR chain for that matter snaps.
party on

It does, however have a timing chain. I haven't gotten the shop manual for it as of yet, so I am not sure if it is an interference engine yet . I thought that the Camry engine was not an interference type, but don't quote me on that one. For those not familiar with the term, interference means broken timing chain\belt = bye bye valves and pistons :-)

All Toyotas use chains except a few of the full-size SUVs from what I remember.
Anything with the vg33 V6 has a belt. This includes Frontiers and Xterras as well as a lot of Pathfinders and Quests.

its all about it having the overhead cam, so yes, it will mess the valves up if it snaps/breaks...as far as I know at least...

There's a little bit of confusion on here.
Yes, the car has a timing chain, just like the Camry.
It is a zero clearance valve system so if the chain breaks the pistons will not smash the heads.
The car will not run, but it won't have any new problems because of the chain snap'age.

Yeah, I was always told that, no matter what, if it was an OHC system of any kind, it would bend the valves if you snapped the chain/belt.
But technology is getting better and better...
