- It's a good idea to replace the water pump, tensioner, and pulleys when you do the timing belt. The timing belt I used was a Mitsuboshi from this kit: amzn.to/2kySfQj
If you can't afford to do the whole kit, or don't need to, the belt is available much cheaper by itself.

A video still helping people 6 years after making it! Thank you sir!
Thank god for people like you, I would be so indebted to mechanics with out quality videos like yours.
haha, yeah. I hope it all goes well for you
Hi mike. I just opened mine up to check the timing and the three notches don't line up. What are the odds that my engine is not toast?
@@sethsacks9947 depends how off it is
TIP for installing new timing belt: You want a tight belt between the two cams and the crank and all the slack near the tensioner. Turn the crank ONE TOOTH COUNTER CLOCKWISE from the mark and put on the belt. Then, holding the drivers side cam, TURN THE CRANK CLOCKWISE ONE TOOTH back to the mark. Now you have a tight belt. Feed it into the tensioner and tighten.
This video allowed me to do the job on my own. Thanks for taking the time to put this up on YT
Nice, I just did another the other day. I don't get these in that often anymore, and I'm glad. Not the quickest timing belt, but definitely doable for the home mechanic.
Man thanks for the video. Last time i paid almos $800 bucks for this job but now i started to work a lot in my truck so next time ill be doing this job!!!
Thank you!!!!!!
I highly appreciate the video, ive been sketched to do it on my own but I've used this video twice now on my toy just now and 2 years ago as well again
Thanks for the GREAT post
Excellent. excellent videos man. Thank you. I love you attention to details and double checking everything kinda explanation. Well done man.
Thanks man, I appreciate that
A great step by step tutorial. Thank you.
Whenever I remove a 1 piece shroud, I cut it in half, top and bottom (they did this in later years). Makes the next job MUCH easier
So I would be safe to use green pre stone in 93 3.0 4 runner? Thanks for response
Thanks so much! Did my timing belt & water pump and it went great! I would like to note, though, that I had a different tensioner assembly. I have a 1991 4runner.
Glad you mentioned this cause I have a 91 and am planning to change my belt soon.
Apparently after 1992 they changed to a hydraulic tensioner rather than spring
Great work! Thanks for making thanks for posting!
thanks, hope it helped
Also easy to remove radiator and have lots of room and save knuckles. Four hoses and a few bolts.
Great explanation and video!
You got to make sure the marks are line up with the belts marks. This is a must!!! People
Great tutorial. Good job!
thanks!
Thanks so much for this. I had to replace all the pulleys and the belt. This probably saved me $1000
Nice video, thanks
Thank you so much for this video
I have a 3.0 V6 Toyota pick up my timing belt has jumped a few teeth the cams are lined up but the crank pulley Mark is off which is more important to line up the crankOn the mark or the cams why you’re taking it apart thank you like your videos
When the crank is lined up with the timing mark, what’s cylinder will be top dead center?
11:45 "alright well that obviously did not work" had me rolling lol.
Dude you killed it! THX
hell yeah, thank you
Pry bar on frame for crank bolt...BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the video. It helped us a whole lot in the replacement of our timing belt. Now I have a question. I've got a third generation 2001 4runner with a 6 cylinder. She has 218k mile on her and I just replaced the timing belt. Not easy but I got it done. I fired up the car and everything sounds smooth. I drove it about 15 to 20 minutes and the CES light came on. I went to the auto parts store to barrow the computer. The codes read are, in order on print out, P0301 (cylinder 1 Misfire), P0300 (Random Misfire), P0304 (Cylinder 4 Misfire). The car is running very smoothly and no physical detection of a misfire. I removed battery lead and reconnected, code cleared, then reappeared after about 15 minutes of driving. I checked wiring harnesses and general wiring for poor connections or poor ground. All checked out. I disconnected the battery again to clear the code, went for another drive and and CSE went back on after about 15 minutes drive time, I stopped the car to get my mail out of the box (the car is still running very smooth while I'm getting the mail) I got back in and put it in drive and the CES light went off????? I have nor driven it again since the light went off and I parked the car but I'm going to assume it will go on again. I will drive again to confirm. Can you direct me to a resource that may be able to help answer to this elusive issue?
It is possible that the timing belt is a tooth off? Of course there are other possibilities, but the computer uses the crank, cam signal to detect misfires. If it wasn't doing it before, then I might suspect that.
de verdad me gusto y pude yo mismo cambiar la correa de tiempo
gracias
great videos,thnks !!!!!
thank you!
Great video. I notice the tensioner you use with the pull pin is not in any of the kits I see for my 91 pickup, is this a different design?
The 91 is probably a spring type tensioner, where this 94 has a hydraulic one
My fan fell off n my power steering belt n AC belt fell. If I take it to a shop how much is this going to cost me?
When removing the crankshaft bolt, do you remove any fuses or disconnect any wires beforehand?
No
I removed my radiator also, so it doesn't get damaged. And gives you so much more room.
when you loosen the pulley off using the starter did it mess up the timing?
exactly what i was thinking, what was the point of aligning the dots if you are going to turn the car over
very good video, you could make a video cleaning the injectors
hi bro . i just changed put spark plugs and the wires and my truck still misfire it work well for coples of weeks bit now is doing again what elae could be wrong if you have any idea.
Ichigo Kourasaki Could be your ignition coils or oxygen sensors
super
On my 91 the timing belt cover had a bolt that is behind the power steering pump reservoir that's hard to get to, so be ready for that.
Removing the battery helps for that one.
I am currently doing this to my 90 4Runner. My big problem is stuck bolts. I have never worked on a job with so many stubborn bolts. I now use penetrating oil and hit them with a hammer before I even try turning a bolt. Even so, I have had to torch off two bolts.
Unfortunately, I have two 5 inch long lag bolts holding the fan bracket in place that resist all my efforts. Because they are lag bolts the threads are far away from the head. They are buried deep in the block. So penetrating oil and torching has no effect. I have rounded the bolt head using a very long extension trying to muscle them off. If I cannot remove the fan bracket I can't get to the timing belt and water pump so this is a real show stopper. I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with the mounting bolt holding the power steering pump.
EDIT : after trying numerous methods I broke down and went to Harbor Freight and bought a 3/8 drive air impact wrench. Hooray! Took those bolts right off! Boy, was that good to see.
NOTE: I filed down the bolt heads some so they weren't so rounded before using the impact wrench.
when you remove the crankshaft bolt, how do you do so without moving the timing marks? Or does that even matter. I really appreciate this video!! helped me more than you believe
TheRegent187 It doesn't matter much, as long as the belt doesn't jump time. if you're using an impact, it doesn't move that much anyway. the belts that are pre-marked make the timing marks on the engine almost irrelevant
JamesonDIY understood, that makes a lot of sense. thanks for the reply.. I am currently tackling this job solely with the help from this video and some old threads on a forum. all because my water pump went out. zero experience, but this is a great start! I realized my engine is a little different as I don't have the timing belt tensioner that you do. but I will figure it out. thanks again !
Yeah, I guess you have the older engine with the spring type tensioner.. The process is still basically the same though, so you should be fine
wow, this is very good. you do a terrific job. one comment about the position of the belt and pullys - all marks lined up and distributor rotor pointing to #1 post, right?
I dont even pull the cap to check the rotor. But yes thats where it should point
i just finished my belt and water pump. i couldn't have done it without your videos. thank you.
RangerCaptain11A Thank you. Glad it helped
Will a cordless drill with ratchet piece attachments and a breaker bar work? Or do I need the impact?
You dont need the impact. But you will need a breaker bar. Then use the starter motor to bump the engine over and break the bolt loose
JamesonDIY thankyou!
You made it look so easy. Where do you live? Arizona?.. Couldn't budge 2 of the fan nuts, so being a manual trans. I opted to remove the radiator and took the fan bracket out with the fan attached (easy). Also being a manual trans. I just put the car in gear and had a friend stand on the brake and removed the crank bolt rather easily. The harmonic balancer would not budge. I spritzed a few drops of PB on it just for fun and tried it again to no avail so drove a few blocks and bought a Puller ($15.00) from napa, and before I could get it set up the balance just slid off. Go figure.. I should have waited a few minutes after spraying with PB and I could have saved a trip to Napa. Lol... My job didn't go as easy as yours seemed to go cause someone was here before and buggered up some of the bolts to the point that they were almost round so I had to work extra hard to remove them. Thanks for the great video...
Thanks for the taking the time to comment. Sorry you had a few struggles, but glad the video helped a bit. Should be easier if you ever have to do it again
U just don't even know bro 😂 thanks alot God bless you bro
Hi there, I'm currently just changing the water pump but am having trouble taking the crankshaft pulley off, I was just wondering if it was necessary for me to remove the crankshaft / crankshaft pulley in my case
Yeah, you have to pull the timing belt to do the water pump
JamesonDIY is it possible to replace the freeze plugs without pulling the engine out?
I guess it depends on what freeze plugs you are referring to. I don't know off the top of my head. Never had to change freeze plugs in a toyota
Hi Jameson... My timing belt and tensioner are like new...but I need to replace the Water Pump and thermostat....what steps can I eliminate from the Timing Belt replacement procedure?
Thanks and your Video is Great !
Not much really. I guess at most you could line up all he timing marks, mark the belt on the 2 cams and crank, then clamp the belt to both cams. Then pull the belt, just off the other pulleys. This would just make a little easier and faster getting it back together. You will still need to remove the tensioner if it's hydraulic, in order to press the plunger back in. At least that's the right way to do it. So to sum it up, there unfortunately aren't too many steps you can save, since the timing belt drives the water pump
Yeah....Great point !
Thanks a bunch for the Super fast reply and Videos !
My mechanic keeps moving around the timing and other things, and the 4wd high is not working well in sand. When my dad first bought a 4runner it worked fine until we got the timing belt changed, and it is FRUSTRATING having to keep going back and also getting the revolutions fixed because it is too low and stalls if your not careful.
Have u had issues with your head gaskets due to the recall Toyota put out
No I never did. But the truck had 2 previous owners that took good care of it. Also the engine had been replaced before I bought it. So if there was an issue, it was resolved before I owned the truck.
Don't you have to bring the engine to 0 degrees at Top Dead Center on the compression stroke?
With all the timing marks lined up, the engine is in the correct position to remove the belt. You're probably thinking of distributor replacement
I found my manual ...says to use ethylene glycol...thanks
shroud makes the fan pull air threw the radiator.
I have a question: how can you tell when the timing belt is bad?
My suv specs: 98 toyota 4runner, manual transmission
Timing belts are changed based on mileage. You never want them to get "bad". However if you visually inspect one, and it shows signs of rot, cracking, tears, etc, it should be changed.
+JamesonDIY Thank you for the info
You can come do my 1995 toyota forunner now....thx for your video !!!
Lol, thx
Hey James! Great video! I don`t have a impact so I try with the long bar and give start to the engine, but my engine won`t rotate! What could it be?
what do you mean it won't rotate? If you're turning the key to start the engine it should act like it's going to start. Did you disconnect the battery?
Hi James! Thanks for your prompt answer! I`m new in this so as I told you before I turn the key and the crankshaft and won`t rotate. I spin the cranshaft I think 360 or something like it and it work! But the Breaker Bar 3/8" drive x 20" inch long just couldn`t hold the torque and the head snap! Since the bar had warranty I just replace it and try it again, but snap again. So I decide to go for a 1/2" inch and the bolt finally got loose! What could be the reason for the crankshaft didn`t rotate ? I keep working I realize that in your video you didn`t show hoy to change the water pump, but is not a big deal! So thank you for everything!
If the engine is not turning over with the key, it sounds like you have a starting system problem. This you would have surely noticed before doing the timing belt right? The engine not turning over? I'm just trying to understand if that's what you are saying.
Hi James! I bought the truck 4 weeks ago and so far I did not have any starting problem, I really don`t know what happen! Probably is a problem with the starting system, time will tell! Anyways I have a question for you, I was able to put all parts together but I realize that you adjust the bolt of the crankshaft with the impact. The problem is that I don`t have an impact, I adjusted it as much as I could with one wrench on the crankshaft bolt and the other in one of the bolt of the cam gear, do you think that this would be enough? Should I invert the process for getting loose the bolt from the crankshaft with the bar or I should just go to a mechanic and ask for the impact to tight the bolt? Thank you very much for your answer! The video is great!
You can reverse the process for loosening it yes
Hey why your anti freeze green..is it not spouse to be red? Just asking...
toyota didnt switch to red antifreeze until much later
can u next time say what size wrenches and sockets your using
video has alot of info it just sucks going back in forth trying to size up
Hi, I need help! Question about my drive belts. I used this video to help replace my drive belts. My alternator belt snapped. Big time squealing noise right before it snapped. I did start the engine with just the A/C & power steering belts. Still had that squealing noise. I also found a circular, beveled aluminum piece, 1" in diameter when the alternator belt broke. I'm not sure what that is? I put brand new Gates belts on. All the belts feel properly tensioned based on the ruler test. However, the squealing noise is still there when starting engine. Is it the alternator? Does that aluminum piece have anything to do with it? Thanks for any help.
Hey james. I had a question that maybe you would know the answer. Do you know which trucks comes with a water pump oil cooler and which don't ? Because i see they are selling water pumps with and without... I'm pretty sure mine as one. 93 pickup 4x4 stick shift.. thanks man
No, I thought thought all the 3.0s had oil coolers. You know what it looks like right? It is the big round thing with a 24mm bolt in the middle of it, close to the oil filter. It has 2 coolant hoses coming from it.
I only see one listed for 1993 3.0. Oreilly"s CP9291, but if you check Aisin WPT-030 or WPT-032....It looks like one may have a water outlet pipe on the thermostat housing part of the water pump, and one may not. So I guess look down at the thermostat, and see if it has a hose coming off of it. The water pump is covered by the timing cover, except for the thermostat part of it, it's just to the right of the timing cover, by the lower radiator hose. Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot James. Im pretty sure mine as an oil cooler,, but i will double check. Do you think it's possible to install a water pump with an oil cooler even if your old water pump does not have it ?
By the way,, i was thinking of installing the same kit as you the Aisin TKT014. Any preferences why you're using that brand ? I know it's a direct replacement for toyota part,, but i'd still like your take on it if you don't mind..
thanks
Yes, the water pump itself should be the same, but with the addition of the small outlet for the heater hose. You would need to plug that outlet though so the coolant wouldn't leak out. Obviously you would try to avoid that route if possible. As far as the Aisin kit goes, I always use those for Honda and Toyota if they are available because they OEM replacements, not cheap parts that Autozone sells. I have seen the most reliability from them. Also the belts seems of higher quality and they are usually marked with the timing mark lines, like the belt I used in this video. It makes installation quicker. In the video I showed lining up the timing marks and the lines of the video just for demonstration purposes. But once you have done this before, you realize that you can almost just use the lines on the belt with the marks on the gears. It makes it quicker, easier, and basically fool proof...all good things.
Thanks a lot james. Would you know why they call it oil cooler instead of the heater hose outlet?
thanks
Awesome vid....but i have a question....I am currently replacing my timebelt abf water pump on mine and I cant get the engine to turn when am trying yo get it to be timed? If that makes since. Lol its hard as ffffffff. How do I turn it ? Smh
If you are turning it with the crankshaft bolt, it should not be that hard. Maybe your wrench/ratchet is too short
JamesonDIY nah am so stupid I left it on 2nd gear since its a manual hahaha I just finished the job. Thank you again great video.
haha. nice. glad it went well
Is this an interference engine ?
14:31 Every day at work I make a jump cut like this ( I wish)
EN ESPAÑOL PORFAVOR
Just an FYI, breaking your crankshaft pulley bolt loose with your starter is a BAD idea. You are running the chance of breaking teeth on your flywheel and breaking your starter... I found that out the hard way.
what kind of stubby ratchet was you using I like the fat handle on it.
All my ratchets are SnapOn. Im not sure which one you are talking about but its probably the 3/8 stubby flex head - Snap On FKF80A
Thanks for the reply that small ratchet sure can get in tight spots when you need it i sub tour channel keep making videos 👍✌
+AppalachianDIY where or you from i live in Louisiana
Man I changed one and my brother said I couldn't but I did
Working on a Northstar water pump, my wife has a 2nd gen 4runner and it has a knock sensor code, hurray!!!! Cuz guess what? Most of the shit that you removed has to come off anyways to get to the intake manifold
I'm changing water pump now... Was just trying to make sure I didn't fuck up considering timing chain is integrated with it
Edit... Looks like the water pump just got a whole lot more complicated...
yeah, the timing belt needs to come off. A water pump job is also a timing belt job
I don't have the money to to put down to find out how to do this
Toyota 4rubner timing belt 2000
Alimage
My car has a severe cameltoe is it possible to get that fixed without spending a lot of boink money
Your marks weren't lined up but ok
