The 22R/RE engine family are interference engines, which means that the pistons WILL hit the valves if the timing chain breaks.
At least 2 valves WILL be bent, maybe more if the engine was under power when the chain broke.
Some people have claimed to had broken chains without bent valves, but the question you have to ask yourself is if you want to tear down most of the engine TWICE to find out.
The odds of the chain breaking at just the right spot and the valves sitting just right to not get hit is about 1 in 64.

Does the 1987 22re have a timing belt or timing chain?
it has a chain and fun to change.
Your 22re is making a funny sound in the motor?
If the noise sounds like a banging sound it could be that you have a worn timing chain. Note: 22re's have timing chains not belts. You should have the noise checked-out by an experienced Toyota mechanic.
Are 22R and 22RE timing gears and chain the same?
some of them had double timing chains and some had single. as long as the new one is the same style then it will work.
What should it cost to have a timing chain kit installed on a 1993 Toyota Truck with a 22RE Engine?
Five hundred dollars.
22re valves which is the exhaust?
On most engines including the 22r/22re the intake valve is bigger than the exhaust.peace
Change head gasket 1992 Toyota 22re?
I am currently changing a head gasket in a 93 Toyota 22re. I'm willing to share info on the process. I had to grind one of the head bolts off to get it out, I'm also replacing the timing chain.
My 22RE motor has a loud knock in the top of the motor could it be from the timing chain hitting the valve cover cause it quits when you take the valve cover off?
Your chain guides(plastic guides on either side of the chain) may be worn or broken, or the chain may be stretched from wear.If the guides are missing or worn, the timing chain can cut through the front of the block.
Is it possible to replace the timing chain on a 22re Toyota engine without removing the cylinder head also does the front differential on a 4x4 need to be removed for access to the timing cover?
you do not need to remove head or differential.i never have
What happens when timing belt breaks on a 2002 Toyota Tacoma?
You will need serious repairs to your engine, far beyond just replacement of the timing belt. With the valvetrain stopped, but the pistons still going (for a bit), the pistons may hit any open valves, causing obvious and expensive damage. 2002 Toyota Tacoma does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain, the basic p/u with about the same engine has not changed much. My 1993 Toyota p/u had a 22re 4 cylinder. The 2002 engine is I think a 2.3 it has a chain. With proper oil changes and maintenance the timing chain should last you at least 100,000 plus miles. My 1993 bought new had 136000 before I sold it. My 2002 has one too. Timing chains can be a little noiser. but can differ like on a 2003 Camry, it has a timing chain as well but alot quieter than a 2002 tacoma. So whoever answered previously should know what they are replying to before spouting off at the mouth about generic timing belt failures. Update: The 3.4L V6 Engine in the Tacomas of that generation do have a timing belt that I believe needs to be replaced at 90K. The 4 cyl engines are the ones that use a chain.
Why does my Toyota 22RE need 25 degrees of ignition timing?
I have no idea how old this question is, but It sounds like you need a new timing chain. If, when you check the timing at idle and the timing mark on your dampner is wandering, then that's definitely the issue. Also, you can pull the distrubutor cap, turn the crank (19mm bolt center of crank pulley) and make sure the rotor is moving at the same time. If not, then that is a sure sign you have slack in your chain.
I put a head from an 85 4x4 Toyota on my 86 2wd pick-up but the head is a 14 of an inch to tall an now my timing chain is too short how can i use this head?
you cannot use that head you will never get the timing in engine right The head of an 85 4x4 is the same as on 86 2wd pickup are the same on 22r or 22re. the only difference is the fuel pump has been capped off for the 22re. You probably got the head from a 4x4 with a different engine.
If the timing chain broke on a 1989 Toyota pickup 2wd 2.4l carb and you need a head what years will work?
1985- 1995 will work, 22r and 22re are the same head these years. 84 will NOT WORK so make sure its a 85+
