Hi all. I have owned two hilux s one 2000 model with 5LE engine and one 1998 model with 5L engine. On both of them the timing belt has broken early. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with their timing belts breaking on the 5L engines.
Cheers

i pulled the timing belt cover and it was not the timing belt. i jumped the gun on my diagnosis. It has actually dropped a valve and made a mess of my engine. So im up for anther one.
