1995 SC400 timing belt break due to water pump
I need some help figuring out if my engine is a non-interference or interference. From what I understand the 1995 is an interference, but I'm also hearing that it's not so any input would help. I'm trying to figure out if I should have my mechanic replace the TIming belt and Water pump or just get me a new engine instead.

Welcome to the forum !
I would suggest to read the stickied thread on the main page , it may lead you to answers to many of your questions. Many newbies tend to post or start a thread about issues or problems without doing research. A lot of things have already been covered when it comes to the Lexus SC300 and SC400.
Please do read the following :
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...intenance.html
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...tart-here.html
btw , help wanted thread goes to the Performance and Maintenance Section . Also people will need more info about what happened to your car or engine before they can even give a good advice if you need to replace your engine.... like how many miles, any other problems , etc .
Good Luck .

According to this forum, most agree that the 92-94 SC400 is non-interference.
According to this forum, there is no concensus as to the 95-97 SC400.
According to this forum, most agree that the 98-00 SC400 is interference.
The issue will remain unresolved until proof is provided to the forum in the form of official literature from Toyota/Lexus or some other sufficient form of evidence. Someone please provide some sort of proof. Thanks.
