Re: 4runner broke timing belt - question

If you've got a stock 3V-ZE engine, you're in luck. The valves shouldn't be damaged. It's a free-running engine.

If you've got a 5VZ-FE, you are likely to need some expensive repairs, like a couple of bent valves and hopefully, no head or piston damage. They can be totalled.
