You can say that again lol. Transported it across the pacific to have it sitting in my driveway for a month while I gathered parts and worked on it piecemeal. I went to turn it over and it stumbled and died a few times and I almost died inside. There was one baby hose into the air box that the...

Thanks everyone for your help. The other timing belt write ups on here were super helpful as was OTRAMM’s YouTube video on the 2uz. Both versions were helpful the old and the updated one. I got it running yesterday after completing the following: 272,579 Timing belt Water pump Pulley’s and...

After wasting all but 3 of the inserts, I was able to get one all the way in! Thanks for all the help. To anyone reading this in the future make sure you also get the drill bit specified on the helicoil package (seems obvious I know) but I ordered online and didn’t know a drill bit was needed...

What’s the difference? Never mind. Google solved it. Should I try the chase first then if that doesn’t work use the helicoil kit?

Thanks for that! Made sure I got the right kit. Should be here Tuesday.

Awesome thanks for the tips. I think you’re right about the bolt being ok but the hole internals being flat. I’ll bring the Bolt to Home Depot tomorrow and figure out the size and get the right helicoil kit. I think I could get away with reusing the bolt but I already ordered the new one...

I ordered part number 13556-50010. Gonna take a week to make it out here from the mainland. Does anyone know the size or thread pattern of that bolt so I can go about acquiring the right tap? Or how I could find out without having the bolt in hand?

Do you know where I can get a replacement? I don’t know how to describe that bolt to search for a replacement online

I definitely stripped the bolt threads, I wasn’t able to get a good look in the hole to see if those are any good. Does anyone know what size these are?

timing belt replacement was going well enough until tonight. I stripped the threads on the bolt and I’d imagine the spot it goes into on the timing belt tensioner pulley. Pictured below. It’s the one with the funny sized bolt with the 10mm hex head. Seeing as this is my first time cross...

Thanks @medtro!!

Any suggestions on what to look out for when I redo the timing? All of the write ups I’ve seen are when you take off the good but worn timing belt, make the marks on the old belt and copy them onto the new belt and then install the new belt. Am I going to have issues installing the new one...

Yes the belt is broken.
