I believe all Toyotas have timing belts. I may be wrong though. The reaosn I say this is becaues when I change my brother's oil, I see a chain where I put the oil in, when I do mine, I don't see anything.Inder

Yep, timing chain for both engines. The knocking you're having... Is that when the engine's cold? Just curious, mine sounds horrible when cold, but the knock goes away when the engine warms. Definitely doesn't sound good, but the dealer can't figure anything out.

well its good to know that..alot of teh old hondas had belts that needed to be replaced every 120,000kms....lots of $$$ money to do that...chains are better stonger and likely never need to be replaced.
