Replacing timing belt in a toyota?

luther · 20 Jul 2010, 02:29 pm

I will soon need to replace the timing belt in my wife's 2005 Toyota Camry. What other things should I replace/ adjust while I am replacing the belt. The engine is a 3 liter V6. I did a similar job on a 4 cylinder 1996 Honda Accord. That job required replacing the timing belt ,jack shaft belt, water pump and a couple of seals while I had the timing belt cover off, also adjusted the valves and replaced some V belts. Just trying to get all the parts together before starting this job, Thanks. for your attention

I own a 03 4 cyl. camry there is no timing belt that needs changing unless you are talking about the serpentine belt which is outide the engine. Did toyota build a six in 05 with a timing belt ? V - belts ? This sounds like you should go to a dealer .

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT IT COVER GOOD LUCK....

I think you pretty much covered everything except (i) I always have my mechanic replace the thermostat as well and (ii) I always buy/use genuine Toyota parts that I purchase on-line or fax at 30% discount from MSRP from Toyota of Dallas TX or Toyota of Richardson TX.

Hope the Above Info Helps!

Do not bother with oil seals yet,difficult to remove,they should last till the next timing belt change or more,just the water pump and timing belt are sufficient plus the accessories belts.Use OEM parts for a quality job.There is no adjustment for valves,also opening of valve covers are not needed for the job.
