98-02 Rodeo-Ever had the Timing Belt break?

[wildlysmiley]

apparently it was interference
I saw the heads and gaskets, they were battered
I was without my truck for a month

it would have been much cheaper to replace the belt when it was time

I'm paying alot more attention to the book now and the recommendations

do you have a 2.2L or the 3.2L???

[surferfletch]

She said it was the 3.2L in the original post. Just an ongoing debate, wildly...

i've got a 99 2.2L and the belt just broke, and i mean it broke - not stripped. i had the t-belt and water pump changed at 101k and i've got 130k now. i guess i should have had the tensioners replaced too...repair shop says no compression, so all? valves are bent. wanted 1600 to fix, or 3000 to put a used engine in. i'm going to try and remove the head myself now because i can't see putting 1600 into a car worth 3000 (well used to be). will take the head off and pray no piston is cracked... i imagine there will be valve marks on the piston(s). i should have bought a car w/ a non-interference engine
