ellis Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 An indentation is incorporated into the piston face to prevent the pistons from hitting the valves, should the timing belt break (this is not true of the 3S-GE BEAMS motor). This is sometimes referred to as a "non-interference" engine. Piston pins are locked by snap rings, rather than being press-fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
