Your hint to loosen the timing belt idler bolt made putting on the timing belt so much easier - took less than 5 minutes! I spent an hour before I re-watched your video. Thanks for those details. Now have to take apart the Camshaft "tubes" and replace the inner seals.
Great video, thanks, I probably would not have attempted the job if not for your video! I just finished the job on my '05 4Runner (117,000 miles); took 10 hours including the water pump (I replaced both idler pulleys, water pump, serpentine belt, and tensioner with OEM parts, about $465 total). I assume the Sequoia in the video has a bit more elbow room than the 4Runner... There were a couple things that differed between the video and my 4Runner. Here'ssome things others might find helpful: - I took the oil filter off to allow easier access to the lower A/C compressor bolts. - removed the radiator - a little more time but worth it I think for the gain in working space. You'll lose a little tranny fluid but not a lot, and 3/8" bolts plug the lines nicely. - if you're doing the water pump there are 2 O-rings on the water inlet that you might want to replace. - you'll need some RTV for the inlet/manifold connection. - you can capture and re-use the anti-freeze, (I just flush and filled mine last year so wasn't willing to waste it) expect ~2 gallons to run out of the radiator, water pump, etc. - you have to take the fan and shroud out as a unit - there's not enough room to pull the fan alone. - I used a chain wrench (made by Crescent, bought on Amazon, about $50) and cut the old serpentine belt and wrapped it around the crank pulley twice to protect it, used duct tape to hold old belt it in place. - Once the timing belt was on and tensioned I spun the crank twice nice and slowly to confirm no piston/valve contact and rechecked alignment (helped to have an impact wrench to remove crank pulley bolt afterwards. If you don't have an impact wrench I'd wait and do this once the crank pulley is back on, but before torquing it). - I used a Haynes manual ($30 on Amazon), not great, but there are torque specs and found a couple of helpful hints. - For clarification: just use a breaker bar and 14mm on the drive belt tensioner and move the tensioner counter-clockwise to release the belt - try not to break the bolt loose! This was breezed over in the video and took me some time to figure out and of course I mucked it up... - the first step, removing the small phillips screw on the compressor was a pita. Barely room for a screwdriver and of course it was frozen. I was able to remove with a vice-grip and luckily had a similar hex head screw in my motorcycle/bicycle spare parts bin. - start the A/C compressor bolts back in the fan carrier before tightening the fan carrier down. Worst part of job? Fan bolts and Serpentine belt - just no room for big hands in there! Oh, and wife needing car next morning... Next up... while under there I noticed lots of grease leaking out of both CV joint boots on the front axles...
Hey does this job work exactly like this on a 2006 Toyota 4 runner Sr54.7 with vvti alsosething bout moving the crank ahead 50degrees before removing old belt?
yeah i done mine own timing belt and the water pump & tensioner. first time on my wifes 2005 toyota sequoia 5.7.L V8. it took me two days to do it. it was a great experience for me. a bit nervous but i did it..
Holy smokes… I was going to try to do this on my own… To hell with that! I'll stick to changing the oil and shocks on my own. Leave this up to the pros. Great video
All that work and they declined the water pump. Its probaly less than 150 bucks and if it leaks they got to do it all over again. Same with the tensioner. The whole off brand kit is 150 on ebay. Why spend 600+ and still cut corners. Rather not change it at all. Chances are it would last 200k miles. just save till you can afford the pump and idlers and new tensioner.
right? 150$ is probably on the expensive side even. you can probably get an aisin water pump for less than that and they are who makes the pumps for Toyota. shit I see the entire timing kit including timing belt, aisin water pump, and pulleys for 178$
bravo. The tech in the video looks like he's done more than a few 4.7L timing belts. I wouldn't take my truck anywhere but the dealer after watching this great performance.
I replaced the water pump and timing belt on the same exactly engine (2003 model). It went very smoothly except that the head of one bolt from the AC bracket got stripped (the head only) and I had to weld a nut on it to get it out. Besides that, the whole job was straight forward and worth doing by yourself, saved almost a grand in maintenance.
I know a Toyota technician who was telling me that it’s necessary to change the water pump when changing timing belt. He said that the crud that builds up around the water pump can cause the timing belt to jump a tooth ever so often and throw the truck out of time.
Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. A Friend and me just service my 4Gen 4Runner including water pump (leaky water pump + 107K) at his shop following all your steps, everything went smooth. it was great to have all the torque values, on the water pump is 16lb/ft for the 5bolts and 13lb/ft for the 2studs/fasteners according to my manual. First time I go further than brakes and oil in our 4Runner but Thanks to your help the confidence was there so the job was fun. Once again thank you for your Time and Good Luck to You.
I had done this works on my 4.7L V8 T3 Special Edition at 95K. Now 196K. I still watching this Pro several times. My T3 Uppers and Lowers Control Arms, Balls Joints with new Struts, shocks and Steering Rack and Pinion. As well as Drive Shaft Center Bearing (but I am replaced with 60k used online for entire Drive Shaft). Also the steering pump. I had done lot of works, Master cylinder brakes. All new brakes drums and discs. 4.7L V8 is the best engines ever manufactured. Comparing to Nissan Pathfinder 199.5 was the most difficult job for timing belt V6. Took me three days to finished the job. Great Video for You Tube Viewers. Thanks
I installed everything properly according to your video and my OEM Toyota manuals, and the timing marks on the left and right cams line up along with the crankshaft pulley OK. I installed the timing belt properly with the L-Cam, R-Cam, CR crank timing mark, screw hole, and keyway marks all ligned up properly. Then I installed the timing belt tensioner slowly, tightening both 12mm bolts alternately a little at a time until they were torqued to 19 ft-lbs, then removed my allen wrench from the plunger in the tensioner. Everything lined up perfect. Then I installed the timing belt guide, #1 timing belt cover, and crankshaft pulley without torquing to 181 foot pounds. I then rotated the crank to see if the TIMING BELT L-cam and R- cam marks lined up with the timing punch marks on the LH and RH camshafts, and they do not. The punched timing marks on the LH and RH camshafts line up just fine with the marks that are embossed on the camshaft covers, but the L-CAM and R-CAM marks on the OEM BELT don't line up after rotating the crankshaft 2 complete revolutions. Are the printed marks on the timing belt SUPPOSED to line up with the timing marks on the camshafts every 360 degrees? I thought they were supposed to, but maybe they don't. You are the expert, can you explain what is going on, and if this is a problem? Thanks so much!
No, they're not going to line up again after one revolution, it take something like 20-30 revolutions before they line back up. As long as all the marks on the engine line back up, every time, you should be OK.
@@Dailydriven79 I just did a timing belt replacement on my truck and after doing it my truck lacks power. It feels like a v6. Did I do something wrong? Maybe the timing is off? What can I do to fix this? Thanks!
thxz 79 , for the detailed video. you covered everything in 7 mins. showed everything. a bit fast for me but after watching im going to make that when my tundra needs a timing belt, Im going to leave that to a real 4.7 pro.
Some videos are great to show you "How To" other videos, like this, are great to show "Why You Should Not." Great video, makes me feel much better about paying for my next timing belt replacement.
Lee Daugherty I had my 2005 Sequoia done last week for 1k at the Toyota dealership. Well worth it. They cut me a deal and I did my 2006 Tundra on Monday for the same amount.
Thanks for doing this video! I did mine a few weeks ago, but developed a leak on the water pump gasket and had to tear it down again today to replace it. I pull the radiator so I can get an impact on that crankshaft bolt and it only added about 10-15 min, if that.
And now that idiot is going to need to pay for this to be done again when it fails! Unless of course it fails bad enough to pop that timing belt off, then they will just buy a new engine!
I'm 72 and put the belt on Toyota tundra 2004. They wanted $130 at the shop to put a $15 belt(bought off Amazon). I would suggest you have someone hold the tensioner while you put the belt on the last pulley. Thanks to my grandson it was done in 11/2 hour. Thanks for the video.
+DENNIS WEINMANN That is not for the timing belt, just the drive belt for a/c, alternator etc. No shop will or can do the timing belt install for $130.
That is one hell of a lot of work for a timing belt. I have this same engine and will happily pay somebody to do this. It was a pain in the ass just doing the tensioner housing and pulley and the alternator. Screw the rest. Great job!
i thought it was easy takes about 3 hours if you take your time, the hardest part is knowing what method to use setting the timing , 50° before 50° after or TDC, i used a mini air wrench to remove bolt on lower pulley
You're a stud! Thanks posting this. I've got an 05 Tundra 4.7 and I'm dreading doing this job. I'm cheap and poor so I'll need to do it myself, but I'll hate life the whole time. Declined to do the water pump?! Ok. LoL
That is an Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing all your knowledge makes me feel more confident in giving it a shot also thanks for labeling and clarifying the torque values and such.
great job here....excellent video by you....use your video as guide......my job cost about $ 150 ......save quite a bit......my set of factory shop manuals and your video led me down the right path......keep up the great videos.....they are much appreciated.....
Patriot Sleeper Cell Timing belts are superior in every way vs a chain. Except having to be Serviced every 90,000 in a Toyota. They transmit much less crank harmonics and provide more precise and stable timing in VVTI engines. All engines for that matter.
Bob Quattrini You drive a Jeep, you are clearly beyond help. If you happened to be an engineer you would understand and appreciate there are compromises with both. If chains were so great they would be used in everything. Most elite racing classes would laugh in hour face if you told them your theory about timing belts being....well shitty.. but again above your realm of understanding.
Wow!!! Your very skilled my friend. Total pro. I too was thinking this was something I could do. Didn't realize so much into it. I wish you were my neighbor. :) keep up the good work.
Great video! My 06 Tundra is nearing 100k miles and I plan on replacing my timing belt/water pump soon as preventative maintenance. This video gives me great confidence. Thank you!
I realize this comment is two years old, but if you're still around, how did the replacement go? I have an '06 and I'm looking for as many resources as I can find. If you did the job, any more on-line material you'd recommend? The 1AAuto videos seem pretty good as well...
Flyabus you’ve probably done this job already but I did mine (had never done a timing belt replacement ever but have done about everything else to vehicles). It went pretty smoothly. Started on Saturday finished on Sunday (took my time to make sure I had it right). I used separate ziplock bags for all the bolts, nuts, etc and labeled them. Took pictures before removing parts to make sure also. Kit came from Rock Auto. Water pump, belt, tensioner, etc included.
Those bolts you marked as "fan bracket" are actually the a/c compressor bolts. I did this job and marked the ac compressor bolts as fan bracket and it fucked me up. Luckily I took photos of what I removed and watched this video again and found the error.
Great Video, but what a nightmare of a job. Looks like an incredible amount of work and all the alignment has to be dead on or it doesn't work anymore. Glad I paid someone to do it. Still was a lot of money, but now I know why. Thanks.
Thanks for the video man! I just bought one of these halfway done, so your video is going to be a nice reference as to where the heck everything's supposed to go, since I'm not the one who took it off lol. Much appreciated! also.. that's one heck of a long song.. :)
I suggest getting multiple pieces of cardboard 3x3. Start drawing components when you pull screws out and put them in the cardboard. You don't wanna have extra bolts or put them in the wrong locations. Good luck
I like how you left the radiator in to save time!! I've been watching several videos on the 4.7L and even though you time lapse through the process it's still super clear and concise. Definitely will be easier to follow while doing the job than something heavy in dialog. Out of curiosity how long would you say the job actually takes in real time including the water pump change? No way I'd get all the way in there and not change the water pump too!
Yeah I did my wifes 2005 Toyota sequoia 5.7L v8 took me like three days to do water pump Replacement timing belt. Boy it was a big job for me. But I did it
have notice after picking up an AISIN kit TKT-021 with instructions for my 2006 Sequoia 4.7 VVT the kit covers 05-08 4.7 engines, after speaking to toyota there seems to be 3 versions of the 4.7 that use TDC for installing timing belt or 50° after TDC or 50° before TDC . this is the confusion on these videos. plus if your dealing with the VVT cams its also different.
Great Video! Please could you give your recommendation, should water pump / thermostat / cams shaft seals / tensioners changed with timing belt as well?
I’m just enough of a mechanic to be dangerous. If I had alternate transportation, and a covered work area, I’d give this a go (using your video of course). Toyota quoted me $1200 for my ‘05. I called a trusted independent mechanic, and he quoted me $1200. Damn. I’m gonna have to pay off Christmas before I can get it done. 😂 My ‘05 only has 112K on it, so hopefully I’ve got a little time.
Who wants a car that will self destruct if you don't change the belt? That's why no one uses belts any more... I made lots of money as a tech changing timing belts and never made a dime changing a single timing chain in 35 years....
The 50,°ark in this video is at the T mark very simple but what they fail to tell you is not all timing belt replacements are going to start and end here just for this particular model and year
what a pro. i just did this job for the first time (but also did water pump and crank seal) and couldn't imagine not taking the radiator out. but that's how you beat the book time right? lol. thanks for the useful tips and the cool song :)
Dailydriven79, great vid. Could you please tell me what exact model chain wrench was used, or at least the dia. range to purchase. Most I see are like 6.5" and I want to make sure I don't get one to small in dia. adjustment.
I know what it feels like to be running about 60 on the interstate when all the sudden your Camry totally stops.That was when I learned all about a timing belt,and also when to have it changed.There not playing around when the book says when to change it (YOU CHANGE IT!) It could be you life! ..
se dana las cabesas cuando se dana la banda de tiempo porque la bomba de agua se daño pero se oia en banda cuando se daba marcha pero mi duda es si se daña las valvulas cuando se daña la banda de tiempo
wiondered if you have any videos showing the camshaft seal replacement on the VVTI V-8s.I have a 1998 Lexus LS400 with VVTI as you already know. Appreciate any help or suggestions/
At 4:21 you can see pink stuff that was described to me as "coolant puking out from around the water pump", by the mechanic who convinced me to go ahead and also replace the water pump, although I had originally opted not to. You mention that your client still opted not to replace the water pump, even with that same condition present. What information can you offer regarding that pink stuff and when a new water pump is needed? I will appreciate any information you can offer.
Seems like the client should have had the crank and cam seals and the water pump done since the entire front end of the engine is already off and that's the time consuming part lol! Beside the fact that the service schedule for the timing belt is 90,000 miles and it's strongly recommended that the water pump be replaced at the same time.
Extremely informative video! It gave me the confidence to carry out the procedure on my own. Question: I have the 3,300 page Toyota service manual and the diagram shows two coolant drain plugs on the driver side of the engine but I can't find them to save my life. Any information would be most appreciated.
The engine block drain plugs are on each side of the block and towards the rear of the engine block. There'a a nipple on the Drain Valves so you can attach a small rubber hose to make the job cleaner.
have a 2001 sequoia. bought it with 85k on the clock. as soon as I signed the papers I took in the very next day to get the water pump and t-belt along with the idlers replaced. Independent shop w/aftermarket belt & pump kit. water pump lost the seal then washed out the shaft bearing tossing the t-belt and gernading the engine. stabbing a salvage eng but going w/oem t-belt, water pump, idlers, and tensioner. Parts man said if oem pump looses the seal it will not wash out the bearings. is he right?
Wow great vid! After viewing yours a few others vids I may tackle this....have you ever had to replace or recommend replacing the cam or crank seals even if they are NOT leaking? Some peps say yes do it since you are already there...others say if its not broke don't fix it. As a Toyota tech what is your opinion? Also if you get a chance could ya make a vid removing a cam and/or crank sprocket on a 05-06 Tundra for seal replacement---Thx!
I drive a 2006 Sequoia. Has 250,000 + miles and have never replaced the timing belt. So as I plan to keep this great work horse running, I'm interested in having this service done soon. (or why fix what isn't broke?)
That's pretty awesome. After watching this video, I'll hire somebody.
Same here 😂
It's not that bad follow the steps that's all you do.
Ima do it. It’s like legos. I’ll use this video and write out the directions. Easy.

That is an Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing all your knowledge makes me feel more confident in giving it a shot also thanks for labeling and clarifying the torque values and such.
great job here....excellent video by you....use your video as guide......my job cost about $ 150 ......save quite a bit......my set of factory shop manuals and your video led me down the right path......keep up the great videos.....they are much appreciated.....
wish they had made this engine with timing chain.
Patriot Sleeper Cell Timing belts are superior in every way vs a chain. Except having to be Serviced every 90,000 in a Toyota. They transmit much less crank harmonics and provide more precise and stable timing in VVTI engines. All engines for that matter.
@@nordicpride9708 Also, timing chains wear out too
@@nordicpride9708 My 99 Jeep Xj has almost 400,000 Mile's and is just like new .....A timing chain is far superior to a shitty Lil rubber belt.
Bob Quattrini You drive a Jeep, you are clearly beyond help. If you happened to be an engineer you would understand and appreciate there are compromises with both. If chains were so great they would be used in everything. Most elite racing classes would laugh in hour face if you told them your theory about timing belts being....well shitty.. but again above your realm of understanding.
The new engines at least the v8 and the ones in the 4 runner for 2020 are chain
Wow!!! Your very skilled my friend. Total pro. I too was thinking this was something I could do. Didn't realize so much into it. I wish you were my neighbor. :) keep up the good work.
Great video! My 06 Tundra is nearing 100k miles and I plan on replacing my timing belt/water pump soon as preventative maintenance. This video gives me great confidence. Thank you!
I realize this comment is two years old, but if you're still around, how did the replacement go? I have an '06 and I'm looking for as many resources as I can find. If you did the job, any more on-line material you'd recommend? The 1AAuto videos seem pretty good as well...
Flyabus you’ve probably done this job already but I did mine (had never done a timing belt replacement ever but have done about everything else to vehicles). It went pretty smoothly. Started on Saturday finished on Sunday (took my time to make sure I had it right). I used separate ziplock bags for all the bolts, nuts, etc and labeled them. Took pictures before removing parts to make sure also. Kit came from Rock Auto. Water pump, belt, tensioner, etc included.
Great video. Short and to the point. Everything well done.
Thanks for posting this, extremely helpful.
Those bolts you marked as "fan bracket" are actually the a/c compressor bolts. I did this job and marked the ac compressor bolts as fan bracket and it fucked me up. Luckily I took photos of what I removed and watched this video again and found the error.
Cafe Tacuba brought back alot of memories. Great Work!
Great Video, but what a nightmare of a job. Looks like an incredible amount of work and all the alignment has to be dead on or it doesn't work anymore. Glad I paid someone to do it. Still was a lot of money, but now I know why. Thanks.
Thanks for the video man! I just bought one of these halfway done, so your video is going to be a nice reference as to where the heck everything's supposed to go, since I'm not the one who took it off lol. Much appreciated! also.. that's one heck of a long song.. :)
I suggest getting multiple pieces of cardboard 3x3. Start drawing components when you pull screws out and put them in the cardboard. You don't wanna have extra bolts or put them in the wrong locations. Good luck
I see the newer Toyota coolant sucks too!! We used to change the old red coolant to green at the Toyota dealer I used to work at!! Nice videos!!
Thanks for the vid...I have this job waiting on the rack for me to do in the morning. Looks easy.
My Sequoia is approaching 275k. The alternator is going bad, and I know it'll need this service done soon. Might as well do it all in one swoop!
Mines a 2010 with 180k. How’s yours running?
@Davis Horner look at video 4:03 that plate he pulls off must be on correctly or it won't start. You may have put it on backwards.
You mean the timing belt guide, which is also the camshaft angle sensor plate.
Had to make time to give you props on this videos.
Thanks man.
+Dailydriven79 is this the same engine for the 2009 Lexus GX470? If so, is it the same procedures?
Man that was awesome! Thanks! Nice cardboard in front of the radiator trick!
I like how you left the radiator in to save time!! I've been watching several videos on the 4.7L and even though you time lapse through the process it's still super clear and concise. Definitely will be easier to follow while doing the job than something heavy in dialog. Out of curiosity how long would you say the job actually takes in real time including the water pump change? No way I'd get all the way in there and not change the water pump too!
i used mini air wrenches including a 350lb torg air wrench with radiator in plenty of room with mini wrenchs
Awesome! Perfect for the experienced Mechanic very helpful!!! 👏👏👏
Nice job! Thanks for taking the time to produce the video.
I really appreciate your doing these videos. I've learned a lot from you.
Awesome video! And awesome choice of music! Cafe tacuba! 😎
I saw him wearing a Toyota shirt so I can trust taking it to Toyota now lol
Yeah I did my wifes 2005 Toyota sequoia 5.7L v8 took me like three days to do water pump Replacement timing belt. Boy it was a big job for me. But I did it
Who the hell decided not to change the water pump? I can't believe it. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video I am working on autoservice in my future is very needed
I need this done asap,I got all parts,timing belt and water pump kit,Mechanic is supposed to be by Sunday 8am,I hope he shows up
I would like to thank you for the very detailed video I really helped!!!
Nicely done... great music choice too.
have notice after picking up an AISIN kit TKT-021 with instructions for my 2006 Sequoia 4.7 VVT the kit covers 05-08 4.7 engines, after speaking to toyota there seems to be 3 versions of the 4.7 that use TDC for installing timing belt or 50° after TDC or 50° before TDC . this is the confusion on these videos. plus if your dealing with the VVT cams its also different.
Lee Wilson I’m doing an 05 sequoia. I have found the exact same conflicting information. Plus I now have a rounded no. 2 idler pulley bolt. Stuck.
Which one of three versions. Do you use on your 2006 Sequoia. Thanks
l will do mine the same, 50 degrees clockwise after TDC. Thank you God bless
Was thinking about doing this myself until I seen your video.
U made that look easy. Props man
How long does this take a skilled person like you to do?
Anywhere from 3-6 hours.
Thanks 4 video..good music too
You are a straight boss for making this video. Keep it up.
If this motor had a timing chain you would never need to do this crap...WHAT A PITA!!!!
Great Video! Please could you give your recommendation, should water pump / thermostat / cams shaft seals / tensioners changed with timing belt as well?
Love the little big planet music
To replace water pump and timing belt at Toyota Dealer I was quoted $750 so I am thinking about buying the chain wrench tool and doing this myself :-)
I’m just enough of a mechanic to be dangerous. If I had alternate transportation, and a covered work area, I’d give this a go (using your video of course). Toyota quoted me $1200 for my ‘05. I called a trusted independent mechanic, and he quoted me $1200. Damn. I’m gonna have to pay off Christmas before I can get it done. 😂
My ‘05 only has 112K on it, so hopefully I’ve got a little time.
Forgot to mention those $1200 quotes DID include the water pump.
Awesome video, thanks my man!🤜🤛
Who wants a car that will self destruct if you don't change the belt? That's why no one uses belts any more...
I made lots of money as a tech changing timing belts and never made a dime changing a single timing chain in 35 years....
great video help me a lot and great song ( Volver a comenzar de Cafe Tacuba)
The 50,°ark in this video is at the T mark very simple but what they fail to tell you is not all timing belt replacements are going to start and end here just for this particular model and year
so when you remove main pulley , do you suggest to change crankshaft front seal too my LX470 have 200K and water pump?
what a pro. i just did this job for the first time (but also did water pump and crank seal) and couldn't imagine not taking the radiator out. but that's how you beat the book time right? lol. thanks for the useful tips and the cool song :)
Dailydriven79, great vid. Could you please tell me what exact model chain wrench was used, or at least the dia. range to purchase. Most I see are like 6.5" and I want to make sure I don't get one to small in dia. adjustment.
Great guide, Thanks for doing this!!
I know what it feels like to be running about 60 on the interstate when all the sudden your Camry totally stops.That was when I learned all about a timing belt,and also when to have it changed.There not playing around when the book says when to change it (YOU CHANGE IT!) It could be you life!
..
Hola quisiera saver si ese motor a parte de esas dos correa de gomas lleva cadenas internas mente
Nice song 🎵 awesome awesome job
se dana las cabesas cuando se dana la banda de tiempo porque la bomba de agua se daño pero se oia en banda cuando se daba marcha pero mi duda es si se daña las valvulas cuando se daña la banda de tiempo
Excellent video, thanks! Audio, not so much.
This could be the best money spent!
Great tutorial Thanks for sharing!
Why do this tundras have this issue?? I'm thinking of getting Me one but I don't know now...
wiondered if you have any videos showing the camshaft seal replacement on the VVTI V-8s.I have a 1998 Lexus LS400 with VVTI as you already know.
Appreciate any help or suggestions/
If there like my Toyota you have cam phasers no nee to replace c seals
Just did this job, amazingly the truck was still running the belt looked like it was made out of gator skin...😬
Thumbs up for Cafetacuba song
This is the first complement on my music!
@@Dailydriven79 it's a damn good song, what can I say.
At 4:21 you can see pink stuff that was described to me as "coolant puking out from around the water pump", by the mechanic who convinced me to go ahead and also replace the water pump, although I had originally opted not to. You mention that your client still opted not to replace the water pump, even with that same condition present. What information can you offer regarding that pink stuff and when a new water pump is needed? I will appreciate any information you can offer.
anytime you have a mechanic that deep into the engine it is silly to NOT have the water-pump replaced. Period.
Seems like the client should have had the crank and cam seals and the water pump done since the entire front end of the engine is already off and that's the time consuming part lol! Beside the fact that the service schedule for the timing belt is 90,000 miles and it's strongly recommended that the water pump be replaced at the same time.
Extremely informative video! It gave me the confidence to carry out the procedure on my own. Question: I have the 3,300 page Toyota service manual and the diagram shows two coolant drain plugs on the driver side of the engine but I can't find them to save my life. Any information would be most appreciated.
I figured it out - the diagram is pretty deceptive. There were two drain cocks toward the back bottom of the block on both sides.
The engine block drain plugs are on each side of the block and towards the rear of the engine block. There'a a nipple on the Drain Valves so you can attach a small rubber hose to make the job cleaner.
Thanks for video, good work!
have a 2001 sequoia. bought it with 85k on the clock. as soon as I signed the papers I took in the very next day to get the water pump and t-belt along with the idlers replaced. Independent shop w/aftermarket belt & pump kit. water pump lost the seal then washed out the shaft bearing tossing the t-belt and gernading the engine. stabbing a salvage eng but going w/oem t-belt, water pump, idlers, and tensioner. Parts man said if oem pump looses the seal it will not wash out the bearings. is he right?
Great video . i have toyota sequioa 2005 and i want to know where is camshaft sensor is located . engine 4.7 THANKS.
Wow great vid! After viewing yours a few others vids I may tackle this....have you ever had to replace or recommend replacing the cam or crank seals even if they are NOT leaking? Some peps say yes do it since you are already there...others say if its not broke don't fix it. As a Toyota tech what is your opinion? Also if you get a chance could ya make a vid removing a cam and/or crank sprocket on a 05-06 Tundra for seal replacement---Thx!
Very informative. Thanks.Pretty sure I will have someone do it for me. How long does this take? I would change the water pump at same time though.
Dealerships usually say about 5 hrs
Nice video! Do you have something else for 2uzfe? How about CAM seals or crank seal on the back of engine ? Starter replacement?
I drive a 2006 Sequoia. Has 250,000 + miles and have never replaced the timing belt. So as I plan to keep this great work horse running, I'm interested in having this service done soon. (or why fix what isn't broke?)
According to Toyota this motor is interference so if that belt goes it could take valves out with it.
Why is there after top dead center marks what's wrong with using Straight Up TDC?
Justin Howes it’s a interference engine, if you do it a tdc it might bend a valve when you remove the belt. The left cam is under tension at tdc.
Is this the same timing position specs for the 2004 4.7 V8? Can't believe they declined the water pump.
