Also be prepared to inspect and replace parts as you go that might be on their way out. The fan bracket for example. Better to replace it while the part is out.

Also, I mainly followed the videos by OTRAMM to do the job which has a list of parts: Toyota 4.7 Timing belt replacement

This guy's video was also helpful:

I am having my 2005 done this Saturday. (200K)
They wanted to charge me $145 to replace the thermostat as well. (This was an automated system). I didn't accept that of course.

Correct me if I am wrong, but they have to take out the thermostat and housing to get to the timing belt correct? I have already bought a new one and seal.
I am just going to tell them to use my parts (thermostat) when they put it back together.

It is possible to remove the thermostat housing and keep the thermostat untouched. So you could totally do this yourself after you get it back from the shop.

The only reason its easier to have them do it is because you'll have to partially drain the coolant to pull the thermostat housing apart (so you can remove the "lower" radiator hose). Just have a clean container and drain out the bottom of the radiator, but I'm sure you'll still loose coolant when you get access to the thermostat. If you top off the fluid when you're done, make sure to use the same type of coolant that you lost, i.e. red vs SLL pink.

Thanks for the info. I used My Mechanic for the job. $716. He came to my house, and agreed with me about the Tstat. He used my parts, and said he the kit should have one too. Mine was OEM so he used that.

Guy pulled up in a Tundra, and he really knows Toyota. So it was a good deal and he did a good job.
I showed him the Slyfox air pump bypass, he was very interested in it.

Hey all two things. Is Aisin a good reputable brand for the belt? Also - this didn't mention a water pump. I've done a million Honda timing belts and always do the water pump with it. Thanks.

The water pump is in the TKT-021 kit. According to some quick research, AISIN is the water pump supplier to Japanese automobile manufactures. The kit uses all Toyota branded boxes, legit OEM parts. Mitsubishi belt which is OEM.

Just as good as ordering it all separate from Toyota dealers IMO.

As much as I want to support local, Amazon is way cheaper on timing belt kits. The Aisin kit is the way to go.

Toyota owns a portion of Aisin. Aisin supplies many oem parts.

I've done a lot of work on 3.0s in Avalons/Camrys/ES300 and 330s. All of them have AISIN all over the place.

This picture is from a Camry 3.0. In addition to Aisin on the oil pump, you can also see part of it on the water pump (top left).





And yes, I know the ES330 has the 3.3L.

Also, get the kit that includes a new hydraulic tensioner. You can get a kit with or without one. I can't remember if -021 includes it or not.

Hi, new here and trying to find an answer to the following thought this may be a good thread:
I have a 05 GX470 with P0016 and intermittent rough idle:
If the belt slips (05 GX470) would I not only get a 0016 but a 0018 as well? Shouldnt the rough idle be constant as opposed to intermittent?

Thanks for any help!!! Have been reading for 2 hours straight and still cant find the answer

I was having a service on my 15-year-old 2005 4runner and was watching the mechanic take off the old "serpentine" belt, so I handed him a brand new serpentine belt, and he handed it back and said the old one is fine.

The mechanic works at a shop with 6 car lifts/racks and 10 other mechanics - all working 5 and 6 days a week - with plenty of business on all brands and makes.

That was 2 years ago. All is still fine!

BTW That serpentine belt goes to the OEM water pump. Who builds a WP that lasts 15 years?
