Great video. Strong work Nick.
Good job!
Is there anyway to tell / test if timing belt is set right after everything
is installed and put back together ? My exhaust seems to have a little
pulse to it. No sure if that is normal.
Fantastic video! My girlfriend’s 2003 Land Cruiser has almost 200k miles
(and of course no preventative maintenance…grrr) so I’m going to tackle
this job over the Christmas break. I’ve never replaced a cam/crank seal so
do you have any videos in your back pocket on how to do that? I’ve done a
handful of timing belt jobs on other cars but never replaced those
particular seals. Thanks again…this is good stuff!
how about the cam shaft oil seals,plz i ll b v,v,v,v thank ful to u if show
me sm vedio of it ,thanks again
Thanks for taking the time to do that, it is a real help for when I come to
tackle mine. Cheers!
Great DYI. I have 190 on my 04 LS and I think it’s time to change the all
moving parts. It looks like the same as it was for my 95 LS. Thanks for
sharing
thank you
Thank you for sharing! It is very helpful!
Thanks, hah not quite!
Great vid!, do you think I can do mine in 34 mins lol
Thanks!
great video!!!
Toyota brand super long life from the dealer. It is pricey, and who knows
if it is any different from the generic, but why not.
I’ve got 200K on mine. I probably should do it now. I’d hate to have it
open and replace all the parts and then have the seals leak in few thousand
miles.
Yep
Great Video; what kind of coolant did you use?
Excellent video, Nick, thank you. One question, about the RTV: there’s a
hi-temperature version of RTV meant for engine gaskets. You seemed to use
regular RTV. Can it take the temperatures of the engine block OK, at least
where the water pump housing attaches?
I decided not to do any seals as mine were not leaking and it is involved.
Many of the kits you buy online will come with the seals.
The high temperature stuff can’t hurt, but I don’t think it is necessary
for that joint.
Hi Nick, Great Video. I’m a first time changer. Did you change the camshaft
and crankshaft seals? How many if each one is required? If so, what are the
part numbers? My dealer won’t give me the numbers.
Timing chain is always preferable. I won’t comment on purchasing any
specific vehicle, but my wife and I are extremely happy with our ls430.
Man that’s a good question, I don’t remember off the top of my head right
now. I think I may have just hit it with my impact gun.
Yeah I think I hit it with the impact gun. Normally I NEVER tighten
fasteners with an impact, but in this case obviously it can take a lot of
force. Or maybe I had enough resistance to get it up to 181 ftlbs (spec). I
don’t remember so it must not have been very tough.
Well done and thank you – do you recommend a supplier for parts, thought I
heard one in the video. Also, do have a quick list of what you bought for
this overhaul?
Wow, GREAT stuff, thank you… One question… Do you know what size hex
wrench you had to use when removing the tensioner pulley and base? It looks
big and I am about to do this on my GX470. I feel like I have everything
but I even looked up the bolt itself and there is no indicator of the size
hex needed.
Thanks!
Yep!
Nick, this is a great video and such good information to have. I just
recently had my timing belt break in my 99 GS400. After towing it home and
getting it all torn apart I noticed that the L cam gear was off timing. I
was able to finagle the motor around very carefully and get all the timing
marks lined up, but I am scared that the motor is not truely at TDC on the
cams and crank. Are you familiar with how to do this job on a car with a
broken timing belt?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Do you think a twin screw supercharger and a turbo would fit and not blow
it?
Hell of a nice job dude!
Very good video! You are a huge help. I have had all my parts for a while
and now I am comfortable enough to start thinking about possibly not
procrastinating anymore maybe. but seriously, a sincere thanks from me. PS:
I once broke a crank bolt on a Acura trying bump start method. Personally I
doubt I will ever try that again.
hi nick got som info 4 replacing the cam shaft seals, you have the remove
the rocker covers and set up the cam timing on both sides and then remove
the cam caps on the intake cams the ones with the VVT-i gear. remove the
cams out and remove 4 bolt holding the helical gear driving the second
exhaust cam. so that the seal is removed from the rear. any attempt on the
front gear will release the spring tension in the VVT-i gear assy, then
your in the shit. trust me dealers don’t do this wit t-belts
Great Video, Going to change my SC400 next weekend, Great help and
detailing. Many Thanks Topdog AK Paul Wolfe

put the crank shaft on neutral timing so my timing is off how can i fix it

Yes it definitely sounds like you have jumped timing, they should line up
perfectly. Do you know why it jumped timing? I would strongly recommend
doing a full timing belt service as described in this video while you are
in there.
thx for posting this, very helpful on a land cruiser i was doing
Thanks!
Liked the video, my only tip is ALWAYS replace that hydraulic tensioner if
not the belt can jump time or start flapping against the timing cover. But
thanks I’m about to do one and wanted to know what I was getting into.
You should replace every moving part in the assembly. The kit I suggest in
the description comes with a new tensioner pulley, idler pulley, water
pump, etc. I’ts a lot of work getting in there and you want to replace
everything you can while you are there.
