Why did this timing belt fail at only 60k miles?

Get a new belt on and see.

Mitsuboshi Is my first choice for Asian cars then gates.

60k miles is a short time. I have seen people get couple of hundred k out of Toyota oem belts.

There in lies your problem…

Yup. Took me a minute, but I see it too…

If you didn't hear any unpleasant noises maybe you'll get lucky. It wouldn't hurt to take a quick look at the valves and pistons though. I always use the best parts I can find. I don't want to have to do the job again any time soon

A good belt should never look that bad , let alone coming apart at 60k , unless there are fluids , oil, and such leaking on the belt , compromising its durability

I totally agree with this. Factory belts are always reliable compared to that of Aftermarket.

Not sure I would want your issue over mine…just did this less than 6 months ago. At the time I couldn’t locate factory OEM parts. Bought and installed what I thought was best aftermarket heater core and evap core. Seriously, less than 6 months and 4-5000 miles. Puking in the floor again. F’n sh*t parts.
