    I don't believe it is. I found this list of Toyota interference engines from AA1car.com:


    1986-95 1.5L Tercel
    1981-83 2.2L Pickup
    1984-87 2.4L Pickup
    1982-88 2.8L Celica Cressida
    1987-94 3.0L 4-Runner

    It has been said that all chain driven toyota's are interference but not sure.

    Yes it's an Interference Engine. But you don't have to worry about timing belts slipping, skipping, or breaking because the 3RZ has a chain.
