timing belt

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...

Anyone have a part# for local auto supply places for a timing belt/water pump for a 1HDT? Or know of anyone that might have this stuff in stock on the island? Thanks!

Or at least do a partial disassembly/inspection. Here's the OEM water pump I bought from the dealer last time. 140k miles on it, had been leaking for awhile with no signs elsewhere. The thermostat housing groove is perfect for an o-ring, 2-034, stays put in the groove with a little goop...

I noticed by accident some coolant deposits on one of the tee's so I ordered the metal ones when doing the timing belt. One of them totally disintegrated when removing it. I suppose I should do more routine inspections.

Hi all, I just collected Mister Blue, a 2003 105, to daily for a week or two before it goes back in. I parked the truck right after inspection and registration for fear of a timing belt failure. This poor old truck has been out in the UAE sun for a long time and all the rubber has gone bad...

Hey all, I basically found a 100 series, true 1 owner with perfectly documented maintenance records for the past 20 years for 15k. The timing belt was last replaced 6-2010, 89k miles. I plan to take it to my local guy to replace the timing belt and water pump on Monday. Can I trust this thing...

Hi All, we are new here, My 1998 LC Beulah has busted her timing belt and my mechanic isn't interested in replacing it, he says "it's too old"...! He doesn't know Beulah for the last 15 yrs like I do. It's a love affair really and now both of our hearts are broken. She does have 330K mi. on...

In the process of doing my timing belt, ordered all the genuine bits and I noticed there is a change in the backing plate behind the timing belt Tenensioner. The original one had 2 holes that lined up to the dowels on the timing cover and the new one only has one hole. The new one fits but the...

Could some one please telling me the one part number for the timing belt for my truck I can’t seem to find it :( thank you in advance!

Hello, I had the timing belt done on my 4Runner and the mechanic sent me a message that it has a CEL on and is throwing the P0011 Code. He provided videos of the timing belt and everything appears to be timed up well and that the belt is tight. See below. Here is the left Cam Right Cam...

Hi all I understand the typical service schedule to replace TB is about 100K. And from searching I do see some talk about age as well. But not sure how many years would be recommended to change. I guess storage condition would factor in. My new to me '99 LC 100 has a bit over 100k miles. 113k I...

I've owned four vehicles with 2UZ engines and between them have replaced the timing belt several times. This weekend I helped a friend replace the TB/WP on his truck. He was most concerned with the cam crank timing aspect of it as I think most people who have never done it are. I've always...

I had reset the T-Belt light before doing the timing belt and once i buttoned everything up after driving for about 5 miles, all these lights appeared, hit the reset button for the T-Belt once again and shut off car and lights went away, drove another 2 miles and lights havent appeared but what...

2000 Land Cruiser built in December 1999 with 183,000 miles. First time doing the timing belt. Here are a few photos. Replaced with OEM Mitsuboshi belt. Looks like the rubber has dried out a bit however after more than 22 and a half years I suppose that's to be expected. Truck operates in a hot...

Hello fellow 90 series owners! I took delivery of my KZJ95 a little less than 2 months ago. I have been slowly taking care of baselining. Spending most of my time changing ball joints, suspension, and taking care of surface rust. However, the biggest issue that still needs to be addressed is...

I purchased this Land Cruiser in September 2020 from an owner in Encino, CA. It runs great and everything works. It was completely stock when I took possession and there is zero rust! It has the factory rear locker which is a great upgrade. It currently sits at 203,500 miles. History I’m the...

Dear Friends, Here is yet another timing belt installation DIY step by step you can follow. In my case I used Otrams Videos which were very helpful in getting the TB removed and installed back up. I took the time to get the time stamp from each step of OTRAM's videos so you can click on...

As per the usual arrangement, of course I can't have any peace during christmas. Coming back 2 nights ago from christmas shopping with the family, front A/C on, rear A/C on, high beams on, horn working, and then suddenly the car starts the dreaded "low voltage" beeping, center console TV starts...

I recently purchased a 2007 LC with 170K miles and took it in for a post purchase inspection. I thought I would post one of their findings to see if I can get a collective opinion here. The mechanic found that the alternator and timing belt are covered in oil and suspects that the leak is...

After months of looking, I finally picked up a 2000 LC with 219k. The previous owner said it was well maintained and had another 06 himself. He was actually the second owner and his neighbor was the first. He was given some error codes by Toyota equaling up to about $5k. Thinking I could...
