Toyota Repair: Timing Belt went out, compression test, timing belt
QuestionWhile I was driving my timing belt went out. I was told that this might have damaged my engine. I am a do it yourself guy. So I was wondering what I should do first. I was going to put a new timing belt on. But was told to first check engine for damage. It was suggested I do a compression test. Is there anything else I can do to check for engine damage?
AnswerMost of the toyota belt driven engines are of the non-interference type and there is no engine damage if the belt breaks but a few are not so I would need to know what year/model it is and what engine it has, you can find the engine designation on the label under the hood.
