Timing Belt Kit

[Nashvegas34]

Like others, I bought from Aircabinman on eBay and was very happy with it:
Toyota 3.4L/V6 Complete Timing Belt & Water Pump Kit | eBay

I used everything except for the two cam seals. Mine weren't leaking so I just saved the new ones in case I need them.

I DID buy a universal pulley holder, however, for the crank:

Others have made a similar tool, which is fine, I just chose to buy. Definitely do something (either make or buy), because it is very important to get the crank bolt torqued correctly. See here: MOTOR Magazine Article | MOTOR Information Systems

^ Thanks, that Motor Magazine article is a 'must read' before attempting the TB&WP change, even for technicians. After reading that it makes me want to change everything myself for sure. Sounds like there are dire consequences for someone changing this stuff, and all they really want is a pay check.

Are we all forgetting rock auto?

Ingotnmy kit from rock auto timing. beltnwater pump tensioner and pulleys... Good kit I've got about 800 miles on it now no issues and everything went super smooth after reading this thread a couple times ( Toyota Maintenance: 3.4L V6 Timing Belt Replacement ) instead of using the crank tool they made I just used an impact and held the pulley. You'll have plenty of room if you take the radiator out too. I had to since I was replacing it due to toyotas dumb design with the mounting brackets. Oh yeah I got the Gates one
