timing belt

I did my timing belt/water pump replacement this weekend. I'm at 221K miles. The original one was done at 129K. The old belt looked fine when removed. Also replaced the fan pulley. Everything went according to plan. Started right up once I remembered to put the MAF sensor back in place. Runs...

Hello! I decided to tackle the timing belt myself. Was following the OTRAMM video and all was good well until it was time to put the belt in. Half of me thinks I am in time, and the other half of me thinks I’m way out. It took me a long while to actually get the belt on for some reason since the...

I inadvertently ended up with two of these kits and didn't realize it for a while. Straight from Cruiser Outfitters in SLC. Brand new unopened box. I've had it too long to return it to them. I just replaced the parts on my 1993 HDJ81 and won't put another 100,000 kilometers on in my...

Trying to find the part numbers or a link to these clips that hold the wiring out of the way. This is for a 1999 Land Cruiser with the 2UZ-FE Engine. The clips broke on my cover (drivers side) and I would like to replace to hold the wiring in place and not have holes exposed to the timing belt...

I recently developed a coolant leak on my ‘99 Land Cruiser (333k miles), so I figured it was a good time to tackle the timing belt, pulleys, water pump, and related maintenance while I was in there. I installed the Aisin kit, added fresh coolant, changed the oil, charged the battery, and...

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...
