Hey Dudes, the 2UZ-FE 4.7 Liter V8 Engine you guys have in your rigs is an interference engine and you know you don't want to push the interval at which you replace the timing belt because very bad things can happen if the timing belt breaks. Is it an absolute that valve damage will happen if the timing belt breaks? It appears that's not the case because people have reported on forums that their timing belt broke and the engine was fine. But, I guess it's still not something you probably want to roll the dice on and majorly extend the interval at which you renew the timing belt on this engine.
So, now for the good part. We have a 2-Part video series you can use to replace it along with the associated components like the timing belt tensioner, timing belt idler pulleys, water pump, and crankshaft seal.
This is a fairly big job but it's not above the abilities of any DIYer with the Right Information, Right Tools and Right Level of Patience. We got you covered on the information front and we also provide you with links to all the tools you'll need to be successful. The only thing we can't provide you with is the level of patience to see a job of this level through from beginning to end. If you take your time and are very organized, you'll have no problem knocking this job out.
We hope you find the video helpful. If you have questions, you know where to find us. You can message us here on Facebook, on our YouTube channel and on Instagram.
Here's the Video and Enjoy the Show!
p.s. Part 2 will be coming out within the next week so stay tuned!
