Hello all. I have a 1997 Prado with a 1kz-te engine that I scored a few months ago. Getting into maintenance and checking the timing belt as I suspect it needs to be replaced. When I took off the cover I noticed the belt marks are not lined up with top dead center. This belt has been on the truck for a good while—but I’ve never seen this issue.
I have the parts to replace the belt, idler and tensioner but was hoping for some feedback on whether anyone else has run into this? No idea why the belt was installed this way but the belts been on the truck for at least 60,000 miles.
Thanks in advance.
