How To Replace Belts In MR2

For all MR2s the timing belt should be replaced at 60,000 miles or 5 years. However the engine is a non-interference design, with valve shaped cut-outs in the heads of the piston so that, if a timing belt were to break the there should be no danger of damage.

However one owner unfortunate enough to test this 'feature' reports that after a belt snapped on his 1990 turbo some of the valves were damaged and bent in his engine. Contact Us for more information.
