timsc300 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 lexus sc300 1992 Does this model year have an interference engine. If the timing belt goes could there be damage to valves. I just bought this car privately and the only major maint. not done was the timing belt. I have seen conflicting information as far as this being an interference motor or not. Can someone please clarify?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JZ_SC Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Most Toyota's dont have a interference motors. Some of the VVTI and VVTI-L motors are but not the older ones. If it's stock the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE are NOT interference motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleJack Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hey there ... how about for the SC400 - with the 4.0litre engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducatiman Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I am also a new owner of a 1994 SC300 and recall seeing info on this or another SC forum that the I-6 was an interference engine. I believe this link will put that fear to rest. You will not damage the valves on your stock 1992-1997 SC300 or SC400 engine if the timing belt breaks.
