Ok. So I'm getting ready to order the parts for my timing belt R&R.
2UZFE V8

This is the list I've come up with (thanks to several members here). Prices are from 1st Toyota Parts. They had the lowest prices on the net. My stealerships wanted about double for these things. A$$HOLES!!!

13568-09070 Timing belt $38.20
13540-50030 Tensioner $38.28
16100-59275-83 Water pump, V8 $95.64
96761-24019 O-ring for water pump $2.20
96761-35035 O-ring for water pump $2.39


I'm probably NOT getting the two idlers. If they check them and something is wrong with them, then I will just bite the bullet and get them from the stealership I guess at the time maintenance is being performed. Same with the seals.

13503-0F010 Idler sub assembly $60.50
13505-0F010 Idler sub assembly for tensioner side $60.28


I also already have the upper and lower radiator hoses on hand.
I need to get the Toyota long-life coolant, but am trying to figure out how many gallons I'll need, and whether or not I can (or should) use anything other than that.
I'm not too concerned about ordering Toyota specific gasket-in-a-tube for the water pump. I just don't see it being a super special formula that would be any better than any other tube available from NAPA, etc. Just don't see it...

Am I forgetting anything? Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Often times you can push the bearing out of the idler, head on down to Napa, match it up and press the new ones in. In the abscence of a press I have used a vice and cheap sockets... Bearings typically run in the $6 to $12 range for the ones I have done. Now, doing it on a tensioner pulley still leaves you with the old spring.

WTF? :confused: You need all that just to replace timing belts? :confused:

Maybe... Replacing the t-belt is very labor intensive, all of those items are 'along the way' and it's a case of "while you're in there..." If you do those items there's very little 'big' stuff to leave you stranded. An alternator, starter or drivebelt is far easier to fix in the middle of the family roadtrip than a water pump.

If you're willing to bet the OEM water pump and pullies will last 180k then skip it. Most people (my self included) expect those components will last 140k-160k. The 2nd timing belt will carry the vehicle to 180k so...
 
Thanks guys. Parts on order from 1st Toyota Parts (Timing belt, waterpump, and tensioner).
Total was $172.12, and shipping was $17.21.

I went back to the local dealership to see if they could get their prices closer to the online prices, and the parts guy said I should go ahead and order online since those prices were pretty close to the local dealer's cost, and they could't do much for me.

I did buy the O-rings at my local dealership, and it looks like I'll have to get the super long life coolant there as well since 1st Toyota won't (can't) ship it. That sucks since the coolant online was only $13.05, and is $28 at the dealership. Oh, I'm sorry, the STEALERSHIP!
 
If you are at the 90K mile mark you may as well change the plugs
check the valve shim clearance.
You will be good for another 100k Miles :cool:

Well, at 94,500 miles, I finally got my timing belt changed out. I'm very relieved it's done. I felt like I was driving around with a ticking timebomb (on my wallet). I did actually change the plugs out about 10k miles ago. Still need to check the shims.

The guy that did the work said the water pump looked like it had a very slight leak too. So it was a good thing I did have that changed out as well. Other than that, the belt looked fine...
 
Is that parts list all inclusive of what is needed for this job? Are there any gaskets or anything like that needed?

I found a kit that includes the belt with the idler and tensioner bearing.

I gather that as stated above it would be a good idea to do those while I'm in there right?

Sorry if these are dumb questions, this is the first major maintenance I've had to do and just want to make sure I get the right stuff.
