3.4L Timing belt and waterpump replacment by a Toyota master tech 

I'm glad you got it figured out.

Easy way to save yourself from an easy accident.

I'm glad that it was helpful. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video informative.

Most definitely is!

I'm glad the video was helpful. Thank you.

Классное видео👍👍 у меня land cruiser Prado 95 двигатель 5vz👍👍👍люблю этот двигатель и машину

Привет из России 🤝

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and got use out of it.

Ya, it is a must-have if you plan on doing a few 3.4l's. Thank you!

You are correct. The manual says to install it in the 6 position. This is the only vehicle I have seen that, so I installed it at the 12 position still. I have heard that either way will not cause an issue.

@@shoptimewithdrew thank you I will be trying that 12 position

On the 3.4l, you can turn the cam completely around. This engine is not an interference engine.

You want it between 11 and 1. Place it at the top so if there are any air bubbles they can get by the thermostat.

@@shoptimewithdrew the factory manual for my 2001 says 6 o’clock though. These engines apparently run hotter when at the 12 o’clock position

You are right. That is what it says. I have never looked it up. Everyone I have taken off was at the top, and all that I have installed have been at the top.

Enjoyed your video, I just replaced the water pump and thermostat on my 1990, unfortunately to no avail still overheating, head gasket on the 3.0. I acquired a 1996 with a recent timing belt lots of new parts shocks brakes etc but with cracks in the frame. I will be doing the conversion to the 3.4, I love all these videos as you show tricks of the trade for installs etc, I feel confident I can get it done. Going to save my second gen is in great shape otherwise.

Thank you! The 3.4 engine is a really good engine. If you maintain them, they can last a long time.

I'm not really sure what you are asking. Once the belt is on, it can be started at any time.

Thank you!

As long as it all lines up with your timing marks, you are good. Rotate it around once and verify your timing.

You will need to remove the belt and rotate the crank slightly. If you get a factory belt, it will have timing marks on it. If the marks line up, it will be in time even if the cam and crank are off the engine marks slightly. Hope this makes sense.

Ok I’ll have to try that, hopefully it will work out for me. Thank you!

A good end wrench. I have had to pull the bracket off with the fan and then get the nut off. That is not fun.

No, the belt has to come off to replace the waterpump.

If you are talking about the marks on the belt, they will only line up on the initial setup. You would have to rotate it several times to get those to line back up. After the initial setup, you go off the marks on the engine, not the belt.

@@shoptimewithdrew Thanks Drew. I turned everything one full rotation after initial setup and every mark was one tooth off. But to begin with, every mark was lined up.

I wonder if it slipped a little. Maybe your tensioner is going out.

@@shoptimewithdrew No Sir, nothing slipped. I went an entire rotation clockwise and brought all of the cam and crank marks back to TDC and it had moved one tooth for each one. It was many turns on the crank to get the marks back to the top. That is why I asked you the first question about the belt marks the other day.

I guess I'm just not understanding. Is the timing off, or is it ok?

If you replace the waterpump It will need new coolant.

Thank you, it is just brake clean.

@@shoptimewithdrew Awesome, thank you!

Awe😂

Poor baby! I hope u succeed with what u need to do all while listening to that new wave music🤣🤣
