Is the 2JZ GE interference or non interference engine... If in case the timing belt breaks on these engines what happens?

How about the 4.3L V8 - 430 engine?

the jz and the uz (v8) series are interference engines (meaning once belt snaps, the piston will actually crash into the valves). I have a list of engines using time belts up to 2005 from a timing belt manufacturer cataloge if you're interested.

the jz is only interference if its the vvti motor if it is the non-vvti then it is non interference.... hope this helps

As the title and the person in the video say, that is a 1JZ-GTE, not a 2JZ-GE.

Click on the username of the person you want to send a message to, and select "send a private message", so you don't need to bump old threads. I'm also going to edit your post to remove your e-mail for your own benefit, lest it be picked up by spammers.

That was funny where someone tried to dispel misinformation with misinformation lol. The 1JZ has a shorter stroke than the 2JZ so one couldn't possibly do that crank test on a 1JZ and say it's the same for the 2JZ. I just felt like a quick scan of this thread still leads people to believe it's not an interference motor, but it is just to clarify.
