Question 95 4Runner V6 - Interference or Non-interference engine?
I have a 1995 4Runner with a V6 3.0L 3VZ-E Engine. Is this engine interference or non-interference type?

I was wondering how critical it is to have the timing belt replaced.

Thanks

It's critical to have it replaced about every 70,000 - 80,000 miles. However for your peace of mind, the 3.0 is NOT an interference engine. Valves and pistons won't touch. You'll just be stranded when the belt shreds.
