Hi,

I was wondering if my 2002 Camry LE V6 (1MZ-FE) engine is an Interference or
non-interference design. That is if the timing belt breaks, do I incur
cylinder head damage (interference type) or just a loss of power but no head
damage (non-interference).

I plan on following the maintenance intervals that Toyota says but if I am
unable to get the belt changed at that time, I want to know what margin of
safety I have.

Thanks

No damage. Just a tow bill.Keep up with recem. mant. per owners manual and
you will be OK.
