Has anyone ever heard of timing belt that broke?
Just wondering if anyone has actually heard of the timing belt failing on the 4.7 V8 engine? I have heard of those engines with over 200K still running with the original belt , never replaced. I know this is probably foolish, but the belts are said to be very strong. Yes, I know that the 4.7 Toyota engine is an interference design that could damage valves and pistons if the belt fails.
Any horror stories out there? Jerry
