The Toyota Sienna has had interference engines starting from the 2004 model year and continuing through subsequent models. The earlier models, specifically from 1998 to 2003, featured non-interference engines. If a timing belt fails in an interference engine, it can lead to significant engine damage.
You fail to list the year and model Toyota. Some Toyota 3.0 L V6 engines are interference and some are not. Depends on the year and engine. Not all 3.0 V6 engines are the same.
The correct term is interference engine. All Honda vehicles built up to 2002 are interference engines. All V6 engines are interference engines no matter the year. Starting in 2003 & up the Accord 4 cylinder is NOT an interference engine. Starting in 2005 & up the 4 cylinder Civic is NOT and interference engine.
Not necessarily. Depends on the model and if it is a four-cylinder or V6. 2001 and older 4 cylinders have a cam belt. From 2002 -up all four-cylinder Toyota engines are driven by a chain and require no maintenance. Most of the V6 & V8 Toyota engines are driven by cam belt and require that the belt be replaced. Some are interferences and some are not. List your year and engine size and you will get a specific answer for your vehicle. Or, just open and read your owners manual.
Mitsubishi truck engines can vary in design, so whether an engine is interference or non-interference depends on the specific model and year. Generally, many Mitsubishi engines, particularly those in the 4D series, are classified as interference engines. It's important to check the specific engine specifications for the exact model in question to determine its classification accurately.
No. My 87 Tercel Wagon timing belt broke last year and the valves were not damaged. 3A and 3AC engines are non-interference.
Most Toyota Camry models are equipped with interference engines, meaning that if the timing belt or chain fails, the pistons can collide with the valves, potentially causing significant engine damage. However, some older models or specific engine configurations may have non-interference designs. It's important to refer to the specific engine type and model year for accurate information. Always consult the owner's manual or a trusted mechanic for details regarding a particular vehicle.
No, it won't. They modify engines and mounts from year to year, sometimes even within model lines.

The Santa Fe, specifically the Hyundai Santa Fe, can come with different engine options, some of which are interference engines while others are not. Typically, the 2.4L and 3.3L engines are considered interference engines, meaning that if the timing belt or chain fails, the pistons could collide with the valves. It's essential to check the specific engine model and year for accurate information. Always refer to the vehicle’s manual or a trusted mechanic for detailed specifications.
Not enough information. Some are - some aren't. What year? What model? What engine?
It all depends on what make, model, year, and engine size, you are asking about. You fail to list any of that. The range runs from 60,000 to 105,000 miles. Average is around 90,000 miles. Some engines are interference engines and if the belt breaks, engine damage will occur. Some are not, and a belt breaking will only leave you stranded.It all depends on what make, model, year, and engine size, you are asking about. You fail to list any of that.

yes, up until the 1998 model year when they went to chains. much older models had chains too. im not sure when they started installing belts for the first time. As the Corolla name has been applied to so many different cars, the best thing to do is check the engine identification and follow-up with a good parts catalog. Note that most Toyota engines are the free-running (non-interference) design.
