I wanted to ask this question in an new thread but cannot post UHGG
2002 4 runner 270k on the vehicle. I wanted to replace the motor the little woman said no
It was time for a timing belt last changed about 150 k or so
valve covers were leaking some of the hoses were original. I decided to jump into both jobs
I bought this kit for timing belt
NEW Genuine 14PCS TOYOTA 3.4 V6 5VZFE Water Pump Timing Belt Kit 4RUNNER TUNDRA | eBay
I would not say things went smooth as its been awhile since I have wrenched on my vehicles for awhile even though I am tooled up but I am rusty if you will.
My go to mechanic sold his shop cashed out and retired to AZ. You would think since I have known him since Jr High he would have consulted me and could have persuaded him to stay. Where am I supposed to take my cars now? What a dick.
work got in the way and the vehicle sat torn apart which always makes it harder for me. Had time off an emergency got in the way. So be it Life happens
had a ***** of a time getting the timing belt on
here is my conundrum
Part number 13505-62070 IDLER SUB-ASSY the one with the 10 mm allen key fit perfectly into tensioner and bolted right up torqued to spec
once I put the timing belt on it seem to not ride on center of roller as I expected. I double checked part number and it was the correct one ( or if I am wrong lmk)
I decided to roll with it
then the lower dustcover the one that goes over the crank would not got as the assembly was further out.
I looked at it thought all the parts are right I will space it out. I used 3/8 nuts checked the clearance ant put the rest back together
everything works fine however
Now it squeals like Ronnie James Dio at a Sabbath concert.
maybe not that loud but fn annoying unlike Dio whom I rather liked in Sabbath
Any idea if this part is correct or where to find the right one?
Or perhaps my squeal could be elsewhere?
I assume as that was the one part that was different as I said I am rusty
any suggestions would be helpful
