Don't replace the seals unless they are leaking. Toyota cam/crank seals last a really long time, generally and you can mess up the job and cause a leak that wasn't there in the first place. I like to have them on hand, but generally don't use them.

Torque wrenches if not caliberated can be off. If you have a cheap torque wrench and the bolt is tight enough stop wrenching on it or you end up stripping or worse breaking the bolt specially the smaller bolts in the block. I think the tensioner pulley torque is like 20 ftlbs which is not that high. You'll be surprised to learn that shop mechanics don't use torque wrenches that often.

I've did it myself about a month or two ago. Only ran into one issue which was a result of the crank pulley breaking a tooth. It was my first time attempt a big job like that and it wasn't that bad. Some good tips from Tim in the videos. Check the crank pulley teeth when you get the belt on and be careful taking it off. I listened to the advice of a few people and didn't change the cam seals since they weren't leaking.

Otherwise; good luck, be thorough, and enjoy that victory beer once complete.

Timing belt?

Got another question, as for the camshaft gears going off tdc right after belt removal Is it ok to rotate the sprockets counter clock to make the mark or gotta go clock wise to get the marks to line up again? This is when the T belts already off. I understand for the crank it should go clockwise only with belt of without belt.

I think you're supposed to always go clockwise since that's the way it naturally goes.
Here's a few other links showing you how to do it as other references besides Timmy's video.

It's not that I stripped the bolt, it's the fact threads gave way when i removed the lower idler pulley bolt. When I reviewed the video footage, I could see threads hanging in the hole before I even attempted to get the bolt back in and tightened to spec. I definitely didn't cross thread it. I think it's just an occurrence that can happen when you have a steel bolt tightened into an aluminum housing. After making the video, other guys contacted me and told me the same thing happened to them. I think it's just luck of the draw if it happens but I have a feeling it's fairly rare luckily. I had to drill it out and install a helicoil to make it work. Toyota does use some type of thread-locker on the threads of that bolt. When I do this job again, I think I'm going to heat up the bolt a little to hopefully facilitate breaking the bond of the loctite with the aluminum housing.

Yeah, I post our videos on Tacoma World too in the 1st Gen section. These guys used our video as a reference to make a write-up of the job which is nice for those that prefer write-ups.

I did this service by myself last August, it's completely doable, BUT.. if you run into any snags it's helpful to have another set of wheels. The bolts that hold the hydro tensioner had rounded off heads, which meant I had to drop the AC compressor and drop the bracket to get to them. That opened a can of worms because the belt tensioner assembly was rotted together, so that added 4 days to get the parts from Toyota to get those parts, and then one of the compressor bracket bolts broke off ( rusted almost in half) which added more time to dig that out of the block.

With that said you think it’s a good idea to PB blast or liquid wrench the nuts and bolts before wrenching, especially the crank bolt?

You got this. Just did my second TB / WP job on a 3rd gen a little over a month ago.

When you get the water pump off, make sure you get the surface completely cleaned up. Pay attention to the points or the corners.

On my most recent TB job, I missed a spot on one of the corners and the water pump began leaking. I had to take the timing belt off from the top to get to the water pump to clean it up again. Was a huge pita.

It's a non-interference motor so you aren't going to hurt anything by rotating the cams either direction to line things up again.

Very doable alone. There are plenty of youtube walk throughs. Take your time and double check intervening. If you can read and follow instructions you will be fine.

Raja thanks for the reply on this. Gotta make sure before I start doing stuff that might mess sh*t up hehehe. This is good to know material.
