According to Gates (see http://www.gates.com/catalogs/file_display.cfm?file=auto_timingRecommend_05.pdf&thisPath=gates\catalogs ) , the 2.2L 4 cylinder in a 1998 Camry is NOT an interference eninge and the V-6 (3.0L V6 -1MZ-FE) in a 1998 Camry is an interference engine. In my opinion, if you have the V-6 engine and the timining belts goes, you will have significant problems (most likely one or more bent valves). If you have a four cylinder engine, a broken timing belt will just result in your engine being temporaily non-running. Now if the timing belt breaks at an inconventient moment for either engine, bad things can happen. Any particular reason why you just don't get it replaced now? Toyota recommends replacing it at 90,000 mile intervals. Ed

For instance, they don't have to charge labor for the timing belt because for the water pump the cover and belts are already off. I typically would replace the following: (www.rockauto.com prices for 3/5SFE) GATES TCK199 (kit of timing belt with two pulleys and instruction) $84.79 GATES Part # K030295 PS belt $4.32 GATES Part # K050435 Alt/AC $12.12 FEL-PRO TCS45641 Cam seal $4.11 FEL-PRO TCS45920 Crank seal $6.04 BCA Part # 221820 Oil pump seal $2.71 Water pump $58.79 FEL-PRO VS50304R valve cover gasket set $13.94 On Mar 12, 5:31 pm, "Joe" <faked-but-wo...(a)yunx.com> wrote: > If my timing belt goes...

From: farmerboy on 14 Mar 2007 10:40 I agree, my oil pump gasket was leaking. I changed everthing possible since things were apart already. I have a good mechanic that only charged an extra half hour for the repair. Cost was under $500.00 when all was done. <johngdole(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:1173843659.325186.245630(a)b75g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > Yeah, non-interference.

I have actually replaced several belts on cars that were classified as interference engines and they ran fine afterwards. I guess it just depends on when it breaks.
