Yes sir, including the wp. Thermostat as well. I went as far as purchasing a new radiator.

I stated in my previous posts that I replaced the entire timing belt system, including the tensioner. But thabks for the info. I think that's what caused the timing to jump to begin with. It had been leaking for a while. I purchased it this way, so it was not my negligence.

Timing was the issue. I lined everything back to spec and replaced the belt and pulleys. It's good to go now. Thanks!

Problem solved!! Timing was the issue. Good as new now. Thanks guys!

Is it recommended to replace the harmonic balancer bolt?

I purchased the tool already, but that looks like a affective tool. Also, I just looked through my timing belt kit and fortunately I have a replacement adjuster. I'd hope so, the kit was not cheap. Thanks for the help guys. I will update once it's all back together.

I attempted to take the harmonic balancer bolt out tonight, that didnt go very well. I ordered this Bottom-line pricing on Schley 64400 at ToolTopia.com Is the tensioner that big of a pain? Its hard to justify spending this much on 2 tools that I may never us again.. I love my 4Runner but this...

Right. I picked up an entire kit today. I just need to know if theres a certain way to align everything or can I just line all marks up with the belt off and throw the new one else on

I was able to strip the engine enough to see the lower timing mark. It has definitely jumped time. I'm going to replace the belt and pulleys. Am I able to just adjust the lower and throw the belt on? Or is there a specific procedure that I need to follow?

Yes, the timing belt does not look good at all. I have thrown so much money at this thing, trying to solve the issue, so I'm not going to replace it until I find out what the issue is. I will try to get the pulley off tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

99 4runner sr5 3.4. The vehicle has been running poorly since the day I have owned it. I just noticed that the timing marks line up with the cams, but not the crank (and it is not 180 out). My question is; is this an issue where it has jumped teeth?? And if so, what is the proper procedure to...

I checked the timing this evening, with a timing light. It is definitely off. Could this be an ecu issue or did it jump a tooth or two?

Sorry, the link is now available
