    Gen 3 Timing Belt Failure Modes?

    In my search for Gen 3s locally i seem to always be able to find some with "bad motor" in the craigslist add. From my research it looks like the #1 cause is failed TB #2 overheating #3 but rarely a spun bearing. So what is the most likely cause of a timing failure on these engines? Toyotas...
