![]() Timing belts are typically designed to last between 100,000 and 122,000 miles, but additional components such as tensioners and pulleys are not included in the equation. When it comes to whether a timing belt can last 200,000 miles, a yes or no answer is unlikely. Don’t Push Your Timing Belt – Replace At Recommended Mileage ![]() A belt should ideally be replaced every four or five years for low- mileage vehicles. Typically, timing belts or cambelts should be replaced every 40,000 to 100,000 miles. At What Mileage Should Timing Belts Be Replaced? The three most common signs to look for are those of a weakened immune system, a weakened immune system, or a weakened immune system. It is possible that you are hearing loud clicking noises from your engine, that your engine is squealing, or that your engine is not starting. Are There Warning Signs Before A Timing Belt Breaks?īefore you act, you should check out the signs and symptoms of a faulty timing belt to ensure that it is not too late to fix it. As a result, you won’t have to worry about replacing the timing chain because you’ll only have to keep the vehicle in good working order. You can probably check the valve clearance yourself, it's just a big pain rotating the engine by hand as it's a tight squeeze to get on the crank bolt.I believe the Vibe has a timing chain, rather than a belt. You'll have a lot of wear on the engine, although it's nothing for a Toyota engine, besides the valve clearance and the chain. Honestly, at this point a "newer" engine would probably be more cost-effective than paying to have the clearance and timing chain replaced or checked. I think you can actually check for wear from the top with only the valve cover off, since it appears more than 8 links of chain are visible from up there, however if the service manual says X labor hours for the timing chain, you will be charged for the amount specified by the book. Removing the cams doesn't really take that long, but you need to have the timing cover off because the chain runs on the crankshaft and you have to slide it off there. To replace the timing chain, several other parts have to come off that side of the engine to remove the timing cover. You can use the " onclick="window.open(this.href) return false website, linked earlier, to find one nearby. No, the base 1ZZ-FE engine is very common. It does, both it and the 2009 and later 1.8 have done away with the need for valve checks and/or adjustments. That would be a completely different design. ![]() I thought the 2009 has the 2.4 L engine of the Camry. I don't know if Chiadog and lannvouivre were aware of the differences. What I wrote in post 149 was related tot he BASE engine, not the GT. Toyota may have realized the same, since 2009 and later fours don't have valve adjustment procedures at all, though the PCV and hose are under the intake, but that is another story This could also explain why valve check and adjustment is not recommended for so many miles. I don't get why the valve adjustment for the base engine is more involved than the GT version. GT engine just remove the shim and replace with a shim that is the correct size, no removal of camshafts, timing belt, etc. The camshaft removal also involves moving the timing chain out of the way (hanging it somewhere so it does not fall) along with other items. The base if any valve(s) out of adjustment, the camshaft over the valve(s) would need to be removed and the out of adjustment valve be bought back into spec.
