Introduction and timing belt question!

[Adam0309]

Hey y’all!

This is my first post on here and wanted to introduce myself, my name is Adam and earlier this year I procured myself a new to me 2004 LX470 with 330k miles on it. Relatively clean for the age and only had small issues so far but I’ve come to ask about the infamous timing belt.

I’m trying to find out if the belt had been done in the last 100k miles or if it’s overdue for one. I have no records of one and there are no stickers indicating it was done. I did peel back the driver side timing belt cover to visually check the condition of the belt and found this part number #: 13568-0F010 When looking this part # up it doesn’t match part #s being sold by Toyota or by kits online, which worries me and may point to it being an older belt. The belt looks to be in good condition, no cracking or glossy finish but wanted to ask if anyone recognizes this part #? I do have a 10hr road trip (5h each way) later this month and am wondering if it would be safe to do so on this belt?

I know it’s best to just change it, but it’s a pretty daunting job and I just have novice wrenching skills.

Any feedback would be awesome!

I wouldn’t worry about it for your upcoming trip but I would put it on the to do list since you have no record of it being done. A visual inspection of the belt is good but if the tensioner fails you’re in the same boat.

I would suggest your chances of having a battery, alternator, radiator, starter, fuse you can't find, etc to go out and four flat tires is pretty rare.....but still more likely than your timing belt breaking.

Looks to have been done at least once and looks in okay condition. Put in the middle of the list.
