What kind is my car engine: interference or non-interference? I have 2: Toyota Corolla 2002, & Tacoma 2000?

Question

Which one is better: interference or non-interference engine?

Answer 1

well you need to say what size engine your vehicles have, v-6, I-4, i prefer non-interference which means if the timing belt/chain breaks you don't ruin the engine because of the pistons bashing into the valves. Repairing an interference engine can be very expensive if the timing system fails.

Answer 2

almost all toyota's are interference.  i personally don't like the set up, but if you get the timing belt done on time it should never be an issue.
