    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    They found the engine fast. So I'm not surprised it's bad. Even if seller covers it. They don't usually cover shipping & labor at most Yards. Typically yards offers replacement only, not cash back. I do remote inspection on 100 & 200 series, and their engines. Which searching for not only...

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    Usually whatever engine seller offered them, is what you get. What warranty are they offering? They can check compression and oil pressure once running, and give you a report card. If good should last as long, as properly cared for. If any contaminants (dirt/sand/etc.) falls into cylinders...

    Everyone makes mistakes. Owning up to it, speak loudly. But if a shop has a history of issue coming out of it, stay away. As many more issue never make this forum, of that you can be sure.

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    Did they also change oil, during T-belt service! Hummmmmm! If I was in your shoes. I'd take to a Toyota Dealership, and have diagnostic work done. Ask for proof of how they come to conclusion and what they find w/pictures. Along with estimate to repair to factory spec w/OEM parts. You may have...

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    You must have misunderstood them. One would not pull head(s), to inspect for damage. Nor would one pull head covers (AKA valve covers) which they could then see cams, as no need at this point. They'd test/inspect combustion cambers (cylinders, of which head is the top of), in 2 ways. 1) Compress...

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    When engine interferes, it's valve(s) hit the piston head(s). It will not run or run very poorly at time of interference. If ran okay for 400 miles. I'd look very hard first at; Cam & Crank senors wires. The crank sensor wire is very often miss routed, and rubs on drive belt. If they check...

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    The OP asked, can the T-belt service lead to engine failure (failure meaning: not fixable, short of major rebuild of long block). In the VVT YES! by all accounts I've heard of. But I've never actually diagnosed a VVT failure, due to a bad T-belt service. But have had a Toyota Service manager...

    Can a timing belt change make an engine fail?

    I've not done an exhaustive search on parts (pistons, valves or lift of cams lobs different) and their dimensions. PN's will not tell the whole story. Actual dimension would need looked at. But I believe it's the piston has greats difference. What I do know: We don't have confirmed...
