Really, I do NOT want to start an argument or a war of words, but my neighbor is a lead mechanic at the Toyota dealership I go to and he told me that the 1MZ-FE engines are NOT interference. I know there has been debate over this time and time again, and quite frankly I don't know what to believe...

Your neighbor needs to go back to school then. The 1MZ-FE VVT-i motor IS interference. The non VVT is NOT interference.

100% correct! Same with the 2jz engines... The newerish VVT-i's ARE interference.

This thread is about transmission.
