Toyota 1MZ-FE, original timing belt at 292k

That is not an interference engine. I had a 96 Camry with the 1MZFE, and the timing belt broke within a month of purchasing it. No issues, other than a tow.

How sure are you that the belt was original?

6 years ago I had a 97' Camry 2.2L with the original timing belt at 185k miles, it was cracked really bad when I replaced it.

This is an old post but this thread got dug up again for some reason. Must be something to do with the “similar threads” box.

To answer your question, it’s the original owner who I’ve known for years; I have all the service records or lack thereof.

I’ve seen them go a long time a lot of people don’t even think about doing them for maintenance or anything. I think you might have a record though. Luckily it’s a non interference engine so if it does break then you won’t damage anything. These are great engines anyway.
