1998 Gs300 Engine Interference Or Non-interference

[donald]

I need to change the timing belt soon but was told by a guy with a 99 gs300 that the cars have a non-interference engine. Therefore, if the belt broke I would only get stuck.

Is this true?

Almost all toyota motors are "non-interference", shouldn't matter though as the belt should be changed at the specified interval <_<

I just had my timing belt changed. I talked to my mechanic and also a certified Lexus mechanic and both said the engine is interference. Non-interference is not correct!

I'm pretty sure your mechanic is dead wrong, the 2jz has never been interference to my knoweldge.
