Toyota 4.7 timing belt replacement tip! 

About to attempt a timing job on this engine and I’m very glad I came across this video. Great info to have my friend.

Spot on tip! Many popular videos on the interwebs fail to mention the ATDC (after top dead center) marks. Even the Haynes books leave it out. Good looking out. 👌🏼

Badass. Glad I caught this one before taking out the belt.

Best information I have found on the subject. After watching I don’t feel like I need to get any more info. Thanks!

Great information. Wish I had this information 3 years ago.

Great info, especially if youre removing the camshafts and or heads also.

Thank you, for this video. Explaining the T mark was extremely important to one’s first attempt to do this job.

Thank you very much for clarifying this. The factory service manual for my car also mentions 50 degrees ATDC before removing the T belt. I just wanted to verify this before working on it. I believe this method is only for VVTI 2uz engines. Thank you very much once again!

Nice tip!

Great video!

After gettimg it to top dead, I like to mark the old belt with lines at the timing marks, remove, and put the new and old belt togther and copy the timing marks to the new. That way you should get the timing exact.

Great video good explanations 👌👌👌👌👏🏼👏🏼

Good tips my friend

Thank you very much, excellent video with great information.

Great info. Cam sprocket timimg mark must be on T mark from the beginning.

it was great help sir

So much easier after I watched a couple Chris fix it videos myself I mean forums

Thanks for the info I was just wondering by any chance you khow or what its that I'm doing wrong I already got the top lined up whit the marks but wen I do the bottom wite mark its off thanks

So the t is to replace or remove the belt if your timing is good , if not find tdc ,which would consist of two full rotations at zero and the two cams at the hash, then once you found that rotate to atdc (the cams to T and the nipple next to the zero on the crank on the right).

thank you Sir!!

Good video👍🏽 doing 1 next week wish me luck😬

Very very helpful, that info on the timing marks is worth it’s weight in gold. I changed the water pump, and threw in all new spark plugs. Should I replace all the coils as well? Only two of them had a slight rust color on them and smelled like exhaust, I did have a code for a misfire in #4 before I started the timing belt change.

Clear as Mud!

Привіт! Коротко але зрозуміло дякую!🤘🖖

Now I know why it was a bitch getting my timing belt right I used the tdc marks not the T marks but for the crank pulley I just unhooked the ignition coils found a long bar and bumped the key over and that's also the time I found out about the starter hold so if you use that method be prepared to turn the key back so the engine doesn't spin for 29 more seconds trying to start

Great video. I unfortunately didn’t back off the camshaft as suggested. The cam did spring forward. Q: what’s the best way to align the cams if they sprung forward? Suggestion much appreciated.

Thanks 😊information

I'm so lost....if you move it to top dead center, then move it to the dowl....how does that not take it off top dead center? I'm lost.

Good 👍🏻

Break the Crank bolt loose before you set the timing and you can do it the easy way long breaker bar add pipe if you need to reach floor on left side of the truck then either disable spark or use a remote button start switch and make sure everyone is clear and then just bump the starter and your bolt is broke free and it won't be super tight form setting the timing so you will be 😭 to spin it right out easily

Thanks

Thanks👌💯💯💯💯💯

For the 2000-2004 engine do you still have to do the TDC then ATDC lineup? Just wondering if the cams on 2000-2004 are loaded too, I have a 2003 and watched other videos that only lined up to TDC, the engine changed for 2005 years and up.

Crank bolt torque spec is 181 ft. Pounds

Thank you for the video, I wish YT would show this in search results before I started the job.. You seem like you know these engines, perhaps you would have an answer : Besides the timing I need to do cam seals, and in the process of the timing change the driver side cam pulley spun.do you know by any chance the save way to bring it back to put the bolt into VVT gears before I free the cams ?

Good info however, you don't really have to remove radiator.

Never read this tip before and didn't have an issue doing two timing belts at TDC?

I just replaced the timing belt for the first time on my 2005 Tundra. The belt looks like it would’ve been good for another 200k miles

A question teacher, is the Toyota Tundra 2006 4.7 engine interference?

Sweet, somebody remind me in 80,000 miles

I'm going to attempt this on my own for the first time. At what point in the repair do you put it on top dead center and what point do you move it to the T's. I'm still unsure when I should do that.

Is this the same thing to Toyota Sequoia?

I believe the “T” is o it relevant in VVT engines the cams shouldn’t jump on non VVT

oh damn a timing belt change has not been done on my tundra that I know of. And my 2005 has over 150 k

Dam rookies

youre about 100ft pounds off. Breaker bar, socket, handle of the bar on the ground, crank the engine.. loose. Take the crank pully off first. Please tell me youre replacing that water pump. That leaks, get a new timing belt again

bla bla

get a pointer 2. dont post a video after youve done the job take us through it so we can see it being done otherwise a zero video

What about 03 model do I have to go to T mark tooo thank you

You only have to do it every 250,000 miles lol.
