325k miles on our 01. On its 3rd timing belt, water pump, etc. If I were in Cali I would confidently let you work on our old Land Cruiser. Superb skill set.
170k on my 4Runner, I’ve owned it since 20k and obviously have been avoiding this - it’s been on borrowed time and wayyyy overdue - appreciate the info!
Thank you for this EXCELLENT tutorial, it will come in very handy when my timing belt requires replacement on my low mileage '06 Lexus LS430 with its 3UZ-FE engine, which is nearly identical to the 2UZ-FE you worked on. 👍
I did a lot of hot rodding when I was a kid but had to give it up for construction. Now I have to hot rod again because Toyota fees are crazy and I can easily tell you are as good as a mechanic gets and maybe the best in showing a complex job. You pointed out some small things that could be a big problem. Thanks for that. This is going to be a favorite channel.
I am not due for a timing belt replacement for another 40k miles but I am thankful for this detailed upload. If this video exists a couple years ago I feel like I could have done the job myself.
Thank you for this video. I could not have done the job without your insights and attention to details. I was beginning to think that I bit off more than I can chew. Thank you.
Highly recommended to flush radiator and trans fluids- drain- remove radiator and fan assembly(grille too) replace that fan clutch and radiator and -trans & radiator fluids to go with such an important job.. also the best time to replace leaky power steering unit/water/oil pump and sloppy steering rack unit
I ordered this kit due to the price . I know it says “Asian “ but it’s Asian of USA . I’ve bought the parts from the dealer in the past and they are of better quality. The belt alone is 100 bucks almost. I paid like 850 before . The idlers are like 250 alone . I still recommend this kit because the price was good and it didn’t leak after install. I just don’t think I’ll use it for the 90k mile intervals.
Great video but have come into some issues when reinstalling belt, all timing marks where lined up till belt was on fully. Cams lined up but the crank was couple mm off. Appreciate some guidance
This is a great tutorial on applying a new timing belt basic kit without cam/Crank seals, just the important stuff that needs it! Once one is in that deep, going all the way is probably the most prudent path, but as my 2006 Tundra has 104K and runs very smoothly with no visible oil leaks, this will be how it shall be done! Might remove the radiator myself, but using the chain wrench instead of impact gun seems even easier as have already done a full flush and refill only 7K ago. I have a new Denso Radiator on hand, but the original is working as new still/never overheated at all. The job shall be done by 150K so may change Rad out proactively. Also replace the oil cooler hose while it is so fully drained now anyhow! Thanks.
From experience I can say it is never a good idea to use a chain wrench on something like a metal drive pulley for exactly the reason shown at 21:05, those marks will slowly and eventually ruin the acc. belt. Now you need to file down those imperfections, or just use a leather or nylon/canvas strap wrench.
Position can marks to line up with the T marks to unload the cams so they don’t spring out of position when the belt is removed. Not sure why he skipped this step.
Drain the two coolant block drains as well as radiator. Remove radiator then fan shroud to easily remove fan clutch and a 25 dollar fan clutch wrench works like a champ with it.
There are a few Toyota timing belt water pump instructional install videos on TH-cam, but this is one of the best. Great job!

I'm considering buying one with 350k miles. Seems like they last!

Timing is spot on.
I will be doing mine in the coming days. This is a very informative video that will prepare me for the job. Thank you for this video.

Great Video, 615,000 on my 2001 owned since new, doing everything on the car myself now and this is the next one. This is going to be a great help!!
That’s a lot of miles! Good stuff keeping it maintained.

Best vid so far thanks for all the torque specs

Great Video. Need Help. my timing belt broke. I do I put the cams in time.
Do you have a shop in Los Angeles area? Would like to have my 2002 LX470 done. Very informative video. Thanks.
We’re in north San Diego

Some kits come with cam shaft seals....what do you think about replacing those while its all apart?
If they're not leaking, pitch em (in the trash).

Well at least when I pay over $1k I now have a better understanding of why I am paling so much.
Harber Well
How did u rotate the cam

mmmh as I watched...it escalated quickly 😅

Whats the t marks for
That’s what I’m wondering
Alignment marks for tdc 💀 - it's an interference motor- if you mess up timing on re-install or when timing belt snaps; valves crash into pistons..
Position can marks to line up with the T marks to unload the cams so they don’t spring out of position when the belt is removed. Not sure why he skipped this step.

THANKS ALOT TOYOTA FOR THIS SHITTY ENGINE DESIGN.
The 4.7 is perhaps the best v8 engine ever made, so if you don't like this then it's only gonna go downhill from here.
@@bladeswelove he's clueless
Bro has never seen a ford wet belt.

why did you not set the cam sprockets to the T mark and the crank pulley to the white dot or other mark?
