Tear down of 4.7L after timing belt failure

This is somewhat reassuring. I was nervous that I bent a valve(s) when changing my timing belt. I had the cams lined up correctly but they jumped when I took off the belt. It ran pretty rough when I put it all back together so I went in again to verify I had my timing marks in the correct orientation (they were). Just took it a while for the engine to readjust and runs fine now. It does sound like the valves are a bit louder so I may have messed something up but I'm not worried about it.

 

This breaks a lot of the misconception of Toyota engines timing belt breaking and engines are screwed. I almost snagged a SC430 with a broken timing belt, only reason I backed off was that it was in Salt Lake City, UT.... can't explain away a 2 day absence from home to sneak in another project car in the garage.
