can someone help me out with my 4runner i need to put a timing chain in it and i dont know where to start with the v6 this is my first toyota with the v6 i always had the 4 cylinder

 

The V6 is a belt.

Go download the FSM on here. It will tell you what you need to do. Also, SEARCH! Lots of threads on this topic.

 

you should have let him try to put a chain on it LOL!!

since you're just doing the belt, it's a little bit more tricky..but since i pulled my heads and everything off the block to be sent to the machine shop i didn't care how everything was positioned and such..

but i agree..download the FSM for you're year and you'll be golden!

 

My first response is:

How do you know you need to replace the timing chain, or rather, timing belt?

 

yea for real!? lol

unless he's just doing the scheduled maintenance of 90,000 mile intervals lol

 

Put on the timing kit & not just the belt while you're in there, might as well put on a new water pump too since it's right there & it's a bit of a pita to get to all of it. The trickiest part is the tensioner & if you make a little "grenade pin" for it; it's not that big of a deal.
