Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: bit.ly/3feE6tJ
In this 2-part video series, we replace the timing belt and associated parts on a 2008 Lexus GX470 with the 2UZ-FE 4.7 Liter V8 Engine. This engine can be found in a lot of other vehicles including: Toyota Sequoias, Toyota Tundras, Toyota 4th Gen 4Runners, Toyota 100 Series Land Cruisers and Lexus LX470s so this video will help you replace the timing belt and associates parts on these models as well. There might be slight differences between the models but the bulk of the job should be very similar.
In Part 1, we cover stripping down the front of the engine, getting the timing belt off and getting the water pump off. We also show replacing the crankshaft seal.

*PLEASE READ THIS COMMENT FOR HELPFUL INFORMATION* *Here's a list of what the Toyota/Lexus factory service manuals said in regards to the positioning of the timing marks before you remove the belt: But, if you watched the video, you saw that we followed these instructions for the 2008 GX 470 and it didn't work out for us. We wanted to provide you with this information, but for now, we think it would be smarter to use the "T" mark behind the camshaft pulleys as the "Safe Spot" to turn the timing marks to in preparation to remove the timing belt. We are hoping that people try out the "T" position and report back to us telling us how it worked out for them.* *1998 - 2007 Lexus GX470* - FSM instructs to put the timing 50 degrees BTDC (before top dead center) *2003 Lexus LX470* - Says nothing about putting the timing marks BTDC or ATCD(after top dead center) *2004 Lexus LX470* - Says nothing about putting the timing marks BTDC or ATDC *2005 Lexus LX470* - Says nothing about putting the timing marks BTCD or ATDC *2006 Lexus LX470* - FSM instructs to put the timing marks 45 degrees BTDC *2007 Lexus LX470* - 45 degrees BTDC *2003 - 2009 Toyota 4runner* - 50 degree BTDC *1998 - 2002 Land Cruiser* - 50 degrees BTDC *2003 - 2005 Land Cruiser* - FSM says nothing *2006 - 2007 Land Cruiser* - 45 degrees BTDC *2008 - 2011 Land Cruiser* - I couldn't find FSM info on thees years. I read the 2UZ-FE engine came on these models as well but couldn't find info. *2001 - 2004 Toyota Sequoia* - FSM says nothing *2005 - 2007 Toyota Sequoia* - 50 degrees ATDC *2008 - 2009 Toyota Sequoia* - FSM says nothing *2000 - 2004 Toyota Tundra* - FSM says nothing *2005 Toyota Tundra* - 50 degree ATDC *2006 Toyota Tundra* - 50 degrees BTDC *2007 - 2009 Toyota Tundra* - 45 degrees BTDC *Update 05/10/21* - With this 2UZ-FE engine, via forums, I have heard people mention that their timing belt broke while the engine was running and no damage occurred which doesn't support this being an interference engine. I have also heard that people have turned over the crankshaft and camshafts independently of each other with no detectable interference which also doesn't support this being an interference engine.. With an interference engine, it means the valves can contact the piston heads if the engine falls out of correct timing which happens when the belt breaks or you turn the crankshaft and camshafts independently of each other. I have also heard that it's only the VVT (variable valve timing) engines that are known to sustain damage if the timing belt breaks while the engine is running. The 2UZ-FE engine is listed as an interference engine. But, it appears even with this designation, it's not necessarily a death sentence for your engine if the timing belt breaks. So, if you sustain a timing belt failure, maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and you're engine will be fine. You just have to get in there, replace the belt and cross your fingers that your motor is all good. *Update 06/28/23* - There have been MANY people over the last 2 years that have reported the "T" mark behind the camshaft pulleys is definitely a "Safe Spot" to turn the timing marks to in preparation to remove the timing belt. The cams stay put and don't jump when left in this position.

@nikovandh 3 жыл бұрын

On a side note, the manual I have for a 2006 Sienna (3mz-fe), says 60 degrees BTDC. It gives a notice directly after: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle. Did not see anything saying that 60 BTDC prevents a cam from jumping. Do those manuals give that same notice, or something different?

@TimmyTheToolman 3 жыл бұрын

@@nikovandh Yeah, the manual pages I looked through for the models with the 2UZ-FE engine said the same exact thing. But, for this job, you're only removing the camshafts if you're replacing the camshaft seals. So, it's weird that they mention the removal of the camshaft and camshaft pulley. In those FSM pages, they say nothing about removing the camshaft. The job is about replacing the timing belt so that's why I "assumed" the purpose of the timing orientation was to prevent the camshafts from jumping and potentially sending a valve into a piston head.

@nikovandh 3 жыл бұрын

@@TimmyTheToolman for some reason I think they assumed the camshaft wouldn't move much at all when the belt is removed and that they are inferring that any significant movement of the cams is going to be when someone is removing the cam pulley or camshaft itself... But who knows - I felt like sometimes certain instructions have a slightly weird wording, as if it was translated from Japanese (makes me think the original manual writers were Japanese)

So for an 01 sequoia fsm says nothing about positioning timing marks. Meaning if I take the belt off I don’t need to line anything up, just leave it as is and it will be good? Or does it infer to get it lined up and leave it there and not go 45 degrees bdc or adc etc?

Awesome video, thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I did this last weekend on my '07 Land Cruiser. This was my second belt replacement and last time the car was out of action for a full week, this time 2.5 days, part was experience but this video gets a great deal of credit. On mine, for the timing marks, I got it lined up and then turned the crank shaft bolt clockwise till they pointed to the T mark. This worked out last time and this time, no jumping. A few things of note, on mine, I did not have to remove the AC compressor, I did remove 3 bolts that it shares with the fan bracket. Also, to remove my crank shaft bolt, I used a chain wrench to hold it in place. I wrapped a piece of the old v-belt around it to protect it, worked like a charm.

This is a great in depth video. It’s helpful to see how you take everything off in the driveway compared to other videos in shops. Found the tip for the AC line to be useful when I did mine this weekend. I ended up removing the power steering pulley instead of the whole unit and then just letting the alternator sit on the frame, if you were going to replace them it would’ve been the perfect time. I set mine to 50° BTDC and the CAMs jumped like in the video. Using the tip of your from the FSM of moving the cam 1 tooth made getting the new belt on a lot easier

I’ve performed this timing belt replacement several times. I always add a BG cooling system flush before doing the timing belt/water pump service. I flush the entire cooling system and then remove the radiator as well to flush it outside the vehicle with soft water spigot in I had installed with my system. I’ve successfully used the Aisin timing belt kit as well as Aisin thermostat. Aisin is a Toyota/Lexus OE parts supplier. It’s a bit of an overkill, but the customer with the cooling system flush. I also use this time to replace other cooling hoses (oil cooler hoses) since they are very accessible during this type of job. This is an excellent Toyota engine that has logged 1,000,000 miles with scheduled maintenance. The American Big 3 have nothing like this engine on their trucks/SUVs. Excellent job/video Timmy!

It’s unbelievable how much time and anxiety you saved me with these two videos. I used your two videos and the info in the Aisin timing belt/water pump kit and had a flawless change of the timing belt, water pump, tensioners etc. Thank You Thank You Thank You !!! Put everything back together, turned the key (with fingers crossed) and it fired right up perfectly!! Don’t know what I was so worried about. I have an 03 Tundra 4.7 and used the T’s for alignment to prevent any jumping and that worked great. Turned everything afterwards a number of times and the tdc on the cams kept lining up with the middle wheel even though the Lcam and Rcam belt markings kept inching around. Figured it was all aligned so put it all together. It was great.

Glad our video series helped you get the job done. You're very welcome. The lines on the belt are just to assist you getting the cams and crankshaft timed right.

I watched this video twice from start to finish before doing the job and it really helped. Came back and watched sections as I did the job. Some advice: 1. It's a good time to change your spark plugs as well. Taking the plugs out makes turning the crankshaft smoother too. 2. Don't remove the hex bolt that holds the timing tensioner pulley bracket to the oil pan. You can undo the tensioner pulley and replace it without removing the bracket, and it's easy to tip it out of the way of the water pump if it even gets in the way. This lets you skip worrying about using Loctite. 3. I tried the 50 degrees before TDC on my GX470 because the factory manual says that. Ended up with jumping cams. Advance to the T marks, the cams sit stable. And crank the crankshaft forward to two teeth past TDC. If you've turned a little past TDC, you can count teeth to line things up. Turning the engine backwards seems impossible since the crank bolt only goes forward, so now that my cams are steady at the T marks, I have to hold the crankshaft at the matching position and get the belt back on.

such a great video, thank you!! I don't know much about vehicle repair. I've only done some basic maintenance on vehicles over the years. This looks overwhelming and intense especially me being a non mechanic. It's my truck though and my boyfriend and I will tackle it soon. I'll need to drive his truck to pull my grooming trailer until belt is changed (he also has a tundra, but 2nd gen with timing chain, which he tried to convince me to purchase, I just love the 1st gens!). There are so many parts to this so I want to familiarize myself with the process as much as possible to make the real time process as smooth as possible. I know my boyfriend will know how to do much of this work and I will be more of the assistant but I need to know the process as well! Plus that will just make it a smoother process. Thanks again!

Thanks again for this video!!! I'm also using the car care nut video, which is more concise at about 30 minutes. That's a great overview one, and this one is a great detailed process video with many tips and tricks. The CCN says to use the T on the cams for the timing marks and the corresponsing small mark on the crank. I'm half way through and about to remove the timing belt. I tried an air hammer to get the crank bolt loose, but I had to use a chain wrench braced against the frame, and then a breaker bar with a large extension pipe that fits on the end and a smaller extension bar inside of that for about a four foot length. It took a lot of torque! My thoughts on the camshafts rotating: I experienced this when doing the timing belt on my 99 CRV. I had to use the wrench on the camshaft trick too. When you're at TDC you'll have all valves closed for some cylinders, but others will be at BDC and so will be "on lobe". That would make the valve springs want to make the camshaft rotate. You want a neutral position where there's either no valve pressure on the cam lobes (don't know if that's possible), or a position where it's equalized for rotation each way. I'm presuming that's where the "T" position is. Hope it works out ok for me.

The "T" mark kept the cams in place. To get the belt on, I actually had an easier time starting with the right cam (left as you face the engine) then to the left cam as I could see the two arrows on the marks easily, then pulling down around the crank where I could see the 3 marks lining up with the hole and dot and only had to nudge the crank a feather to seat it into the belt knowing the two cams are already locked in the teeth.

Remove one of the upper timing covers and take a peek at the belt. For the 2UZ-FE engine, the passenger side cover is the easiest to get off because there's no wiring harnesses connected to it or no wires running through it. If the belt looks at all cracked, it's time to replace it.

Could be wrong, but I believe the instruction for 50ish degree BTDC (or after) is so that if there is some movement of timing components during removal (such as a cam jumping), there will be plentiful space in between the pistons and valves on all cylinders, since 50ish BTDC (or after TDC) more evenly spaces out the distance between all the pistons and valves than TDC does.

@TimmyTheToolman 3 жыл бұрын

Gotcha. Thanks for this insight. I was under the assumption that the positioning was to prevent the cams from jumping but now you got me thinking.

You don't need a deep socket for stud bolts, you can use box end ratcheting wrench. Never use stud extractor socket what you saw with those mechanics while replacing engine on your old 4runner because it stripped all the threads on one of my car's water pump and then I had to wait for a week to get another in mail from the dealership.

@TimmyTheToolman 3 жыл бұрын

Well yeah, you're right. You don't need a deep socket to remove the stud bolts. If you wanted, you could use an open end wrench too and maybe even a crescent wrench if that's all you had. They would all work. There's choices. The deep socket was the obvious choice for me because I was utilizing my small impact gun on most of the fasteners. Just because you had a bad experience using a stud extractor doesn't mean they should "Never" be used by anyone. I'm pretty confident mechanics use them with success all the time. Sure, if you detect that the stud is locked in there and the tool is starting to spin on the threads, you stop and try another means like the double nut technique. The only way I can see that the threads would be damaged beyond repair is if you just kept grinding and grinding that extractor tool over the threads and mangled them. If I detected the extractor wasn't turning the stud, I would stop, clean up the threads if needed with a thread restorer chaser and then go to the double nut technique. But, if the stud starts to back out at the first application of torque, the tool worked as intended and it just made your removal of the stud a lot easier.

We weren't able to 100% confirm if the T was a good place to put the CAMS to have them not jump. If you end up using the "T's" please let us know if everything stays in place like its suppose to. good luck with your repair, and let us know if you have questions along the way.

Hey Tim! Good video. I have a 09 sequoia 4.7 code P0016 comes and goes. Drives good, no issues. I am at 240k and owned it the last 60k miles. Is that a sign that I should replace the timing belt? Could that be the problem? No history or tag if it has ever been done.

@TimmyTheToolman 7 ай бұрын

It could be caused by many things. But, regardless of the code you're getting, if you don't know if the timing belt has ever been changed, you should take off one of the camshaft covers and inspect the belt. If that belt breaks, you'll need major engine work. It's an interference engine, and the valves can slam into the pistons if the belt breaks.

If you removed the spark plugs before doing this job, would the shift from the cams be prevented when removing the timing belt?

@TimmyTheToolman 2 жыл бұрын

No, it wouldn't but it might help. The cams jumping is mainly from the valve springs.

Can this job be done on a inclined driveway? Or does it need to be level since the coolant is gong to be drained?

@TimmyTheToolman 3 жыл бұрын

We did it on an inclined driveway, so yes, it can be done. What we noticed is lots of coolant was still in the system even after the radiator was drained and removed. After disconnecting the the oil cooler hose, LOTS of coolant came pouring out of the oil cooler. So, do yourself a favor and get a bucket under the direction of the oil cooler fitting when you disconnect that hose. If you watched the video, you saw how much coolant came out.

Prepping for this job and have one point I'd like to confirm w/ you guys or the community: Can anyone confirm which year the VVT began in Sequoia and how to check prior to starting the job? I have a model-year 2004 Sequoia and want to be prepped for the correct camshaft seal. Rock Auto is showing the non-VVT seals for the 2004 Sequoia, then in 2005 has the different parts listed for models "To 10/31/2004" and "From 11/01/2004." How does one confirm their engine's build date for this purpose? Thank you Timmy and Sean for your continued efforts for the Toyota owners community!

@TimmyTheToolman Жыл бұрын

I don't know exactly what year the VVT started. You could simply remove one of the plastic cam covers to find out. If you have VVT, your cam pulleys will look the same as what we show in this video. If you don't have VVT, the cam pulley will look like a simple pulley. Replacing the camshaft seals on a non-VVT would be easy. Doing it on an engine with VVT is a lot more work because the camshafts need to be removed. Good luck with the job.

If after you line up TDC and then turn the crank (CW)so that the cam gear timing mark is aligned with the T mark, do the arrows (L,R) printed on the new timing belt line up with the T marks or do you rotate the crank back ccw until the cam gear timing is aligned with with the "I" mark and then install the printed arrows on the new timing belt with the "I" mark as the reference. Its a 2003 4runner 2uz-fe non-vvti. Thanks....

Before putting the new belt on, rotate the cams CCW from the "T" marks and back to TDC, the "I" marks. The timing marks on the belt need to be lined up with the "I".

Tim, I followed your videos to replace the timing belt on a 2005 Toyota Sequoia - since it has been back together it has a little "jumpiness" at idol when warm and under slight load at specific MPH like 48-52 it jumps very noticeably. Not all the time, but frequently. I did not do the "back it off 50*" that failed for your guys, i went to TDC and still had the cams both jump less than 1" each. When i installed the timing belt, there were marks for the cams and Crank shaft that i used to align as well as the factory marks....i had high confident upon installation, but now i feel like i messed it up. What are your thoughts?

You just have to work at it Mark. The fan can get stuck onto those studs. By alternating pulling on opposing sides, you'll eventually get it to budge. Just be careful once you get it moving that you don't smash it into the radiator by pulling too hard.
