07 Timing Belt Change (1 Viewer)

[Rascal]

1st of all I want to say thanks to Pete Pressley and spressomon for the two great write-ups in the FAQ. The FSM is spot on except for a few torque settings.

I changed out the timing belt, water pump, tensioner and both idler pullys and the drive belt at 92,000 on my 07 Cruiser. All of the parts I took out were in great shape...

Kind of frustrating but since this is an interference engine - I have piece of mind... Not sure if it matters - but - the vast majority of my miles are highway miles and most a pretty good distance per trip. I think age in years may be the greater factor.

Yeah... I picked it up at Toyota of Dallas with 4 Miles on the clock 3 years ago last month. I spend a lot of time in my Cruiser. My goal is to put over 300K on this one. This is actually my 3rd one. Had a 95 that I put 175K (which I never should have sold) and a 81 FJ40 - that I built up for rock crawling https://forum.ih8mud.com/hardcore-corner/51130-hardcore-rotm-project-rascal-july-2005-a.html

Love these vehicles.
