Thank you. You've made this job on my truck much simpler. Your detailed descriptions are spot on. I have a 2000 tacoma 4x4 sr5 with 325xxx miles and not a lot of regular maintenance. So the full line of videos will be a life saver. Thxs
Tip 1: Sire it's the rule you always start at the crank pulley and go around water pump, then on the cams! Tip 2: after 2 turns the engine by hand you don't get the marks on the belt in the same spot. Only the marks on the pulleys !
how about slitting the old belt longitudinally while its in place, cutting from the smooth side. The cut off the inner loop. Slide out loop to inside position. Then start the new belt - slide it half way on. Then cut off remaining old belt and slide new belt all the way over its pulleys. This is a Miata forum trick.
I have been searching UA-cam for good tips on how to replace a timing belt on the Tacoma v6 and I think yours is the best on I have found. Doing it this way there’s no way any pulleys could move out of time ⌛️.
@Toyota Maintenance. Thank you Professor Peter for today's lesson with those tips and tricks for replacing the timing belt on a Tacoma. While it's a maintenance item, having a lift definitely helps. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Great advice Peter, on using only Japanese parts, I certainly wouldn’t want to have a come back on a big job like that , And good tips on putting everything back together great video Thankyou
The Salt n Pepper technicians say stick with Authentic " Made in Japan" for Critical parts. Nissan, Inc pumps made in Japan are more robust than Aisin pumps made in USA. I'm sorry, but that's what is being said Peace.
It would be awesome of you left the camera running while you completed the work even when you don't have the time to explain every little detail. But either way we appreciated you sharing the information.
Advancing those cam sprockets is a lot easier if you have all of the spark plugs removed. There's no sense in fighting compression when doing timing jobs, just thought that was worth a mention. Cheers🍻
Very clean. I've done timing jobs on 95 honda odyssey, 98 honda prelude,99 toyota rav4 and 06 subaru sti. I've never done a timing chain job. Stay safe senor peter paz y salud from pedro
Thank you very much. I’m doing this job myself on my 97 Tacoma after calling a local toyota shop who refuses to work on cars older than 20 years. How about that? I’m proficient and have worked on many BMW’s and Hondas so feeling pretty good.
A mechanic told me a trick of his. Whenever you touch the timing system of any engine, put it back together and turn it over at least two crank rotations, as is said in this video. But the important thing is, do it BY HAND!!!! Turn the engine with a breaker bar, NOT with the starter. Go around as many times as necessary for you to be comfortable that everything is good. If you feel resistance, STOP! If you have the timing wrong, you can catch it this way without doing damage. Never mind running the engine, even cranking with the starter can bend valves if they hit the pistons. Valve stems are pretty small, and won't take much of a hit. ua-cam.com/video/hFs91VXnEHY/v-deo.html Here's a video that covers that. At about eight and a half minutes, you'll see the crank sprocket has multiple marks on it, but obviously, only one is right. In this case, it was put on the wrong mark, and valves were bent just by cranking with the starter.
There’s a special tool/bar that bolts onto the crankshaft pulley and has a hole in the center for the socket, so you can tighten or loosen the crankshaft bolt.
@@iamtheman7018 that's cool, I made my own also, but the screws were a tiny bit to short and I actually separated the pulley from the rubber/harmonic balancer🤦♂️. So I ended up buying a new harmonic balancer pulley assembly.
Thank you so much for putting out a video again today. Very nice to learn this trick today! I saw something in your video for your protection. I hope you are okay and nobody is trying yo harm you. I would think big strong guy like you nobody would want to mess with, hope everything is okay. It is good to have around. Also small matter, but it may be a "Mitsuboshi" belt. Unlike the common Mitsubishi brand.

Buddy you never answered my question , how come when I’m driving my 1996 4 runner at high speeds it seems to be restricted and it stops accelerating then kicks back on . My gf 2006 sequoia does the same thing , but my 2002 Tacoma doesn’t have then restriction’ full send ! So can you tell me what might be the cause of that and how can I remove it ? So I don’t give the rival ford ranger a chance to catch up while I’m blowing them away !
Crankshaft pulley, how do you loosen/tighten it? I ended up fabricating a crude tool. Also I got so frustrated with the tensioner I ended up removing the AC compressor.
Only two mechanics I want to bring my Tacoma when something go wrong.. Peter and Scotty.
Why do you think the engineers at Toyota didn't design this engine with a timing chain?
They did. My 2012 Tacoma v6 has a timing chain.

Thanks for sharing this video, I performed this maintenance myself with no trouble on a 2003 tundra.
That's the cleanest engine with 90,000 + miles that I have ever seen!!!
Yes, there’s knowledge and science on your head Sr, my respect to you. God bless you and your family and business.

Thanks for another great video,love your channel You are the gentle Toyota Whisperer 😆
92,XXX and already doing a timing belt, wow. My 97 4runner 2.7 has the chain and still runs like new with 202,100.
Awesome work on such a critical component. You're the best! Thanks for another great video
Aisin makes some great timing belt kits. They're one of the few that use all Japanese parts.

For most that's true, but the Legendary 5VZFE is non-interference.
@@tylermartelle7041 Oh, I didn't know that. I would treat any motor is interference, unless I can find out otherwise.
Great information! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated.
Hey Peter I am currently doing this job, what is the best way to torque the main crankshaft pulley bolt? 🤔
I second this. PETER: HOW DO YOU LOOSEN AND TIGHTEN THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY?
There’s a special tool/bar that bolts onto the crankshaft pulley and has a hole in the center for the socket, so you can tighten or loosen the crankshaft bolt.
@@joecia7 i ended up making one. Basically a sturdy bar with a donut on the end. Worked great.
@@iamtheman7018 that's cool, I made my own also, but the screws were a tiny bit to short and I actually separated the pulley from the rubber/harmonic balancer🤦♂️. So I ended up buying a new harmonic balancer pulley assembly.

Hi, at 6:36 you say you turn the cams back, but you previously said don't go counter clockwise with the breaker bar. So how do you turn the cams back?
What a work ethic.
Awesome tips thank you 🙏🏽 do you always change cam and crank seals? Could you do a video on replacing them?
Nice video. I'm looking to buy a Tacoma with 100000 miles but I think, I may not is going to be a little too expensive to be a used car. Thanks.
Its cool to see the setup of the 3.4L
Awesome video! You need some cheap rolling storage like the car wizard so you don’t leave parts all over the floor ;)
Thanks, great, practical video!
How much does this job cost to have done

In ct about 400 at a independent repair shop. At a stealership about 600
love your channel - thank you for the excellent content

Great video Peter! where did you buy this Aisin timing belt and and water pump kit from?
mine also has those yellow paint marks
Thanks!!
Great info thanks a lot I’m doing mine soon
My dealer keeps putting too much oil in my 2018 RAV4 it is about half an inch above the full mark. Should I go back and have them take some oil out?
Interference or noninterferrence ?
Crankshaft pulley, how do you loosen/tighten it? I ended up fabricating a crude tool. Also I got so frustrated with the tensioner I ended up removing the AC compressor.
if you use an impact wrench it will loosen the bolt and not move the pulley.
Very Good Information
Is that serpentine belt?
Where are you located?
Hello Peter i have ? is this engine a none interference 5VZ-FE 3.4 Liter engine thank you from a taco lover lol
Peter I have a serious issue with my 2002 Toyota Tacoma 3.4 V6 prerunner
WOW great info. AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot keep up the great work
👍👍
I mean, you do one DOHC timing belt job, you've done 'em all -- driven water pump, hydraulic tensioner, couple of idlers 💁♂️
Until you do one on an interference engine you haven't experienced true stress.
Try doing a audi or bmw
🇯🇵♥️👍
that looks like a grenade
Peter, wiping your nose with your fingers is something that should not be done, especially on camera.
