What does this mean?
In an interference engine, the valves and pistons can collide if the timing belt breaks. This can result in serious engine damage, including bent valves, damaged pistons, and even a hole in the cylinder head.
Why is it important?
It's crucial to maintain the timing belt on an interference engine. You should replace it according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule, which is typically around 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
Note: While a 1992 Camry with the 3.0L V6 (3VZ-E) is also an interference engine, the question specifically mentions the 2.2L 4-cylinder.
