like the title says, tonight i was driving on the hwy doing about 55 not even playing around with the car. I heard a loud wining sound for a split second then i lot of metal against metal and the car instantly shut down.. Coasted to a parking lot, popped the hood to discover my timing belt was extremely loose, looked down the timing case too see my tensioner just sitting there broken off the engine. This is a 2jzge that i NA-Ted, I recently rebuilt the bottem end like 3 weeks ago. What would cause this too happen??!!
timing belt tensioner broke off the 2jzge-t..?

It's one of the weak links on the 2J. I know several places sell billet units to replace the cast OEM piece. It breaks from fatigue, outside of that, can't say much else.
well shit ha, time to pull the head and inspect the damage then. Thankyou for that information, i was wondering if it was just me with this problem..
2jzs IIRC are non interference engines, so even if the TB break (assuming your head is all stock) it will not damage any valves.
Even the Na 2jz are Non interference?? i could have sworn the were..
