*PLEASE READ. IMPORTANT INFORMATION*
In this video we show you how to perform a Timing Belt Replacement on a Toyota 3.4 Liter V6 Engine. The 5VZ-FE engine was used for 3rd Generation 4runners, 1st Generation Tacoma's, Early Tundras and T100's. We not only show you how to replace the timing belt but we also show you how to replace all the associated parts; the water pump, both idler pulleys, the timing belt tensioner, thermostat, both cam shaft seals and the crank shaft seal.
**Since we shot the video, we learned a trick from a guy local to us who's an experienced mechanic. He said he backs off the timing belt tensioner bolts a little and that gives some extra play to get the timing belt onto the #1 idler pulley. Once the timing belt is onto the #1 idler pulley, you'd just completely tighten the two tensioner bolts. I also looked back at the FSM and it instructs you to put the tensioner on AFTER the belt is on so you could do that as well. We used the trick of backing off the the tensioner bolts a little to make getting the belt on easier and it worked great. Check out Part 2 of this video to see us use this technique. • Toyota Timing Belt Rep... .
