Hi guys, so I just hit the 200k mile mark on my 05 limited v8 with vvti. I bought it with 55k on it and I have always changed the oil at every 6500 mi using synthetic oil and oem filter. I had done the 1st timing belt at 100k.
I will be replacing the timing belt and all associated parts soon since I just hit 200k. I would like some first hand opinions of fellow 4runner with the vvti 2uz-fe v8. I am wondering if there is any need to replace the camshaft seals during the t-belt replacement even if they are not leaking?
Normally I would replace the crankshaft and camshaft seals but due to the extra steps that are involved (camshafts need to be removed) I am unsure if I should replace them. I saw no signs of the crank or cam seals leaking at the first 100k t-belt service but I decided to replace just the crankshaft seal at that time.
So what do you you guys think? If I get in there and see no signs of the seals leaking at 200k should I just leave well enough alone, or should I replace them due to the mileage?
thanks for your input
