up to my armpits in timing belt change...
and having a hard time deciding if I want to change both idler pulleys or not (upper and lower...or tensioner pulley)
they both seem like new, with no gritty feel or noise when spinning. However, I have 230K on this truck, with the last timing belt/water pump done at 170K by the dealer. I have no idea if they did the idler pulleys or not. I kinda dont want to have to go back into this part of the motor for another 100K or so, and am thinking spending the extra 200 dollars might be smart? thoughts? oh, and my new factory water pump doesnt require any sealant right? Just use the factory supplied rubber gasket? thx |
No sealant for the H20 pump.
If both idlers feel fine, I'd leave them alone. But if you have the $$$ lying around, by all means replace them. I'd be more inclined to change the tensioner out along with the drive belts and thermostat/gasket. Take some pics and post. Good luck. |
200 ? ehh no already got it tore apart is the extra 100 in parts worth being stuck in the middle of no where at 3am

I took my factory ones out at 120K. They looked perfect, but I hope not to go back in until 240k, so I swapped everything. '99 timing belt interval is 90k but the components are the same as a '97. But, since you don't know how long they've been in there, I would do them.
But why $200? You can get OES Koyo tension pulley and OES NSK upper idler from partsgeek.com for less than $100. They are identical to factory from the same manufacturer. The ones I put in had the same markings as the originals I took out. Yes, if you have the updated metal/rubber gasket and a WP with no channel in the flange, just bolt her up. Make sure engine-side surface is nice and clean. |

i have not but feed back looks good and so does the parts

really appreciate all the great info...
damn, i wish i'd ordered from that ebay seller. I am replacing everything else anyways already...the tensioner, thermostat, etc... so maybe the pulleys should just get replaced too. thx guys edit... http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/199...elt_idler.html http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/199...er_pulley.html this is what I found on partsgeek....one is a beck arnely, the other a clowers....I have my doubts that these are factory quality? Am I wrong? thx |
Nope, here you go. Beck Arnley is not bad stuff, and have used them in the past, but the NSK/Koyo combo is OEM. GMB is not bad as well.

I don't have experience with Beck-Arnley as I only use OEM suppliers from after-market sources. Same part as dealer, less money. As far as I can tell, Elton's kit is all OEM suppliers. I would have bought it. |

Uhh...they both have gaskets. You want the AISIN for the V6, not the 2,7l 4cyl. You do want to be sure you have the oilcooler that has a hose connecting to the water pump on that tube off the thermostat housing. You can see it on the driver's side of the engine, just follow the radiator hose back. Some models don't have it, and need a pump without the tube on there.
yep, facepalm..in my rush I didnt see that one is for the 4cyl and one for the v6... |
I would do the tensioner also if (or when I should say) I had to do mine over; mine was just barely out of spec and got cheap at the wrong time and left the original in; I think it's $75 from toyota. so far no issue but only 162k on the clock. my .02
thanks from me too Durk for the links to those parts, good to know for my next one... |
Matt,
The kit includes a water pump I believe. Everything is in it you need except: And I'll bet aa1911 will agree with me on this one: A NEW CRANK BOLT. They run about $10~$15 at the dealership. |

Nor is a water pump shown in the picture of the kit? If there IS a water pump, I'm gonna be a little peeved, lol...cause that next day air cost me 26 bucks :pissed: and I was wondering about a crank bolt...wasnt sure if it was something I needed to replace or not? Why is it a part I should be concerned with? Just asking out of curiosity... thx |

aa1911 I think had his crank bolt come out because it was not torqued down to 217ft/lbs.
As Rworegon said, per the FSM, it is a non reusable part. #90105-16031 is the part you need. It looks as if that kit included the H20 pump, but a call or email to the seller would be what is needed to confirm such. |

You do have a tool made up to hold the crank so you can re-torque the bolt properly? If not, there are several easy to make designs around here.

the one i linked didn't have a water pump cause i thought u already had one
