Information regarding timing belt how-to is found in our "How-To" section. Further information can be found in the service manuals in the "FAQ" section.
HOWEVER, don't bother looking. The Leganza has an interference-type engine which means that if the timing belt snaps, the valves are dropped and subsequently smashed by the pistons. 1/1000 times it doesn't happen, but there is a 99.9% chance that you have bent valves. Anywhere from 1 valve to all 16 depending on your level of bad luck.
You can buy rebuilt heads online (about $400-$500) and do it yourself, or any good shops should be able to do the job for about $1500 or so.
Sorry man, bad luck!

+1, you'll have to get the timing belt back on and do a a compression test. a little bit easier than tearing the head off right away. if you do end up needing a new head I'd be willing to buy the old head as a core to help offset the cost.
just took a look in the how to section and there isn't one for the timing belt on the 2.0/2.2. I'll take a looka at a manual I have and perhaps add one. otherwise these topics are the closest.
