Trying to find out for sure that this engine is not a interference engine. Gates web site does not listed as being so, so does this mean it not? Thanks ---

This is a Toyota 4-AFE engine, its non interference. If its time for a new belt and you are going to keep it any length of time, you should replace the belt. Belts tend to brake on the coldest days of winter when you’re in the most inconvenient place. ---

Its a keeper, I believe its on its second belt, its age not mileage for replacing. Thanks
