Turned the crank 360. Maybe I got lucky, just wanted to add my data point.

Did you have cam timing marks point on I or T?

I've been meaning to add it to the pile of factory parts!

I don’t remember, other than I did what was correct. It was about 4 years ago.

Well I decided to fire the parts cannon at this thing. Replacing everything.

I just did my Timing Belt Change on 2006 LX470 at 334,000 miles. Replaced the fan bracket, bearing definitely felt worn. Also light squeal after startup that lasted about 1 min. went away. I used this bracket from Amazon:

Casting marks match the original so I believe it is a genuine replacement part.

Thanks for all the great advice in this forum. not sure I would have takled the job without it!

This "creeper" just showed up and I'm telling you it is a game-changer.

The topside creeper saved me last summer when replacing the starter.

I was reading the shop manual and saw where the starter was located and thought WTF? Then I figured it was to keep it out of the water. And it is re-buildable. The more I learn about these rigs the more I like them.

In my case, a starter every 325,000 miles with the number of creeks that ford, the design is worth it.
