timing belt

Gents, Trying to diagnose a squeak from the front of the motor that sounds like a pulley or belt, but still occurs when the accessory belt is removed. Details: Does not happen immediately on start. Usually takes 1-2 minutes before the sound starts. For me today, the sound started when the...

Hello everyone! I have a 2009 Land Cruiser GXR V8 (4.7 2UZ-FE, Qatari spec) that hit 150k km recently and I was advised to do the timing belt change. A friend recommended an independent garage that's run by ex-toyota employees and mechanics. The mechanic checked the vehicle and said there's a...

Hi all, new to the forum and cruisers. I recently had a full timing belt service completed on my 2007 which included the timing belt and water pump replacement at 170,000 miles. However, several weeks later I realized on the receipt documentation that the timing belt tensioner was NOT replaced...

Hello, I am replacing timing belt for the first time, and I wasn't sure of the alignment I got. I matched all the marks when installing, rotated the engine several times, and finally pulled the tensioner. After that I ended up with the following situation. Is this considered aligned or not?

Hello! I’m looking for a legitimate mechanic in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley area familiar with the 100-series! Somebody real familiar with the 2UZ and Toyotas in general would be great. The place my truck is currently at (independent Toyota/Lexus focused shop) has had it for almost two weeks...

Hi, Last year I changed the timing belt and after making sure all markings on the crankshaft pulley, cam shaft pulley and injection pump pulley all lined up at TDC I gave it several turns manually. It was difficult but I did manage to turn through several complete cycles by man handling the...

Hi 100 series community, Recently picked up a beautiful '03 LX470 with an uncertain service history. 166xxx miles currently. It's clear that the vehicle was well maintained with multiple services to Toyota dealership throughout the 2 owners. But I do not have confirmation that the water...

I'm looking at purchasing an 01 LX, and think I found one for a reasonable price near me, in what looks to be a decent condition, sans operable AHC, which to me isn't as important. It's 330k miles, with an asking price of $4,900. Now, I'm relatively handy and have worked on my '99 Isuzu Rodeo...

I know, odd question. When I was doing my timing belt a few months back, my friend helping me said he would get rid of the hydro (??)and just make the PS a stand alone operation. Has anyone done this or know what he mean? I can't find him now or I'd ask him LOL I am getting ready to replace the...

So onto my first timing belt job on the 2uzfe and ofcourse getting to the water housing it cracked. It was so stuck I had to cut out the remaining piece trying to keep aluminum shavings at a minimum. Now on the hunt for a used replacement I found one that looks like a direct bolt on, but...

Anyone know the minimum I have to take off to get the timing belt off of the passenger side cams? I need to move some of the shims under the cams around on the passenger side but everything is put back together at the moment and not to do pointless work 07 VVT

I'm doing the timing belt presently on my 2007 lx470. This is it's second belt change now at 189K (first done by a Toyota Specialty shop). Fortunately the teardown went well but presently I'm a little confused. The 2007 has a slightly different procedure for timing belt removal according to the...

My right cam does not line up perfectly. It is very close but not right on. Will this be ok?OK? Note the pictures.

Hey everyone! Does anyone else have a crank pulley that doesn’t line up exact even though the other 3 marks are lined up? (Oil pump dot and both cams) I checked and rechecked before pulling the pin. Rotated the motor a ton by hand and the 3 marks still line up but the pulley doesn’t show 0...
