I'm surprised at how tough timing belts can be. Mine has had a hole in it for about 5k miles now.

I know...I know... :slap:

just be glad your motor is non interference :)

this is true a washer could have broken loose, they arn't very thick but the belt should have a common point it should run true to, unless something wasn't installed correctly and caused it to wander.

i hope he's not serious about reusing it...

Yeah, the guides are just staked on. Seems that toyota figured out it might be an issue because my new one had many more stakes then the original.
