One of the best timing belt replacement videos I've seen. It took me a couple of hours to get the job done but your video made it easy. One thing to note, if you buy a really cheap timing belt it may not have the timing marks on it. Always mark the old belt to the marks before removing it. You have the ability to count teeth or at the very least lay your new one on top of your old marked one should your new belt not have all three marks. Or just pay the extra 10 bucks for a good brand name belt.

One note, Toyota FSM shows the jiggle valve on the Toyota thermostat at 6 o'clock position not at 12 o'clock as shown t=19:38. This is also confirmed via multiple other videos and on toyota forums. Not intuitive, you would think it would go on the top. Sure enough, when I pulled mine off from the factory installation it was on the bottom. Multiple posters swear that having the jiggle value on the bottom vs the top the operating temp will drop 10 to 20 degrees F.

You guys really helped me alot with my 01 Tacoma. You really saved me time with lots of little added details such as: -Using a wobbly & squeezing between to eliminate compressor hassle -Giving torque specs -Hardware sizing Great job, thank you. My only question now that it's all together and running is, I installed my new Thermostat with the jiggle valve in the up or 12 o'clock position. However after having a couple people tell me I had installed it upside down, and that it's supposed to be jiggle valve down. I started looking into it, and had a local Toyota tech tell me the same. He said it probably doesn't matter much, but in the manual it was in the downward position. I also found another guy on KZfaq measuring his temp digitally with t-stat in both position to compare temperature. His results consistently showed a 10° difference with it running cooler in the downward position. Can you please help me understand this? Thanks again.

Good video.. I have watched a few of these videos and watched people struggle with getting the belt over the crank gear and I was wondering if maybe it would be better to put belt on then put top idler on LAST. And right here in this video, there it is. Nice job. However, every other video i watched says to orient the thermostat toggle valve at 6:00. (according to FSM)
@tomhernandez13082 жыл бұрын
I had wondered about this as well, so watched to see where the jiggle valve was located from first timing belt job done by the dealer. 12 o'clock position, and I never had any hi-temp issues. So that's where the new one went! 2000 tacoma V6 5vz-fe engine.
