Timing Belt / Water pump time

[fjcruiserpd]

It's time for my wife's 2000 SR5 to have the timing belt + water pump replaced. But since I'm not much of a mechanic I want to make sure I have all the right stuff done while they're in there.

Perhaps someone could give me a list of things to have done (in order of importance would be helpful).

FYI - I already changed the plugs and wires myself a few weeks back.

Thanks. But I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking. I wasn't particularly looking for the parts needed, per se, but more along the lines of what other work should be done or at least considered along with the timing belt/water pump service.

Buy a radiator from rock auto or somethin and have that done too. I felt it was worth it when I did mine

There really isnt a whole lot more to it than replacing the parts that come in that kit. Besides making sure everything lines up with the timing marks. Really the hardest part about the whole thing is fitting your wrench into extremely tight places taking parts on and off. And that is a royal PITA. Almost worth the extra grand you are going to spend in labor, but not quite.

Well, I just realized what your ? really was. Sorry lol. Seems to be a lot of talk about O2 sensor's going out and causing bad gas mileage. Maybe something you should look into.

Follow the parts list to be replaced and you will be good to go for the next 100K:

A set of metric 'gearwrenches' helps immensely.
