Product ReviewsEngine Timing Belt Component Kit-Eng Code: 5VZFE Aisin TKT-005

Great kit, quality products. Can't go wrong here!

Bought this kit since I watched Timmy the toolman's video on doing the timing belt for his 3.4 in his 4Runner. I then bought the kit and was pretty suprised how fast it came, in about a day! But I live close to the seller so that isn't fair haha. Overall extremally happy with this kit. The value here is amazing! For about 330 bucks you get all made in Japan quality parts. All of the parts included are quality parts, so even though your getting a good deal on the parts they aren't just junk your putting on! this kit includes brands like NSK, Koyo, and Aisin, all manufactures of Toyota parts. Very happy with this kit and it's great I have this option to put on quality parts on my truck. Thank you aircabinman! without breaking the brank buying them all from Toyota. Only thing about this kit is that it doesn't include a new crankshaft bolt which you have to get if your doing this job. The crank bolt gets torqued to 217 ft/lbs and per toyota they are a one time use since the force of that much torque on the bolt stretches and can make the bolt weak and prone to failure. Part # for the crankbolt is: #90119-16006Read full review...

Good product...

I searched EBay, Amazon and other online sites after a short and shocking search of my hometown auto parts stores. (OReilly, Autozone & Napa). The price on these products were as good as I found. I ordered the parts and received them 2 days earlier than was advertised... it could be because I live in Nevada and these shipped from California. So I went to work with the installation a couple days early. I have a 2002 4 Runner with just over 200,000 miles. The last time any of these parts were changed was at 87,000 miles. The front 3 belts can be a little confusing since everyone seems to have different numbers for the individual belts. The ones with this kit fit perfectly. When I had the belts changed in 2006 with 87,000 miles the Toyota dealer used one Bando branded belt, one Toyota branded belt and one other belt... forget who was the maker but I was amazed that all three were different... I had never bothered to check before. Anyway, the three front belts were all in poor condition, no pits but all were cracked and past their prime. The timing belt on the other hand looked brand new.... You might spend the time to pull off the belt cover... it has just a few bolts and take a peak at your belt before you change it. My old water pump on the other hand had a bit of a bind when I turned it by hand and was probably not more than 40 or 50,000 miles from failure. (who knows I am pretty impressed with the durability of the 4Runner). I would recommend spending the time going through the YouTube videos and then searching for "Toyota Maintenance: 3.4L V6 Timing Belt Replacement" by Mark Griese... for a good written explanation of what you are going to do. A few other tips... Make sure you have a 19mm socket with long breaker bar to loosen the crankshaft nut... do a Google search for..".Timing belt crank pully bolt removal must see tip " cause Ebay won't let me put in the link... just be careful.. but it works like a charm. Go out and purchase 10, 12 & 14 mm ratcheting boxed end wrenches. I bought a Home Depot set for $39,00... why I never used these before in my 40 years of weekend mechanic work I don't know but I'll never go back. Spend the time loosening all of the nuts on the belt adjusters... the extra few minutes of loosening makes it easy to get the belts on and off... no point in forcing any belt. Also it is possible to remove the tensioner without removing the AC compresser.... you have to lay on the ground with a pretty long extension... I think its a 12 mm nut... and it helps to have a swivel adapter... you can just fit the extension up under the tensioner... remove the bolts... use a piece of chewed gum to hold the bolt in the socket when you slide the extension back up into the hole and install the new tensioner... I can't find the link for this tip but it worked great... especially if you have a buddy that can help you with a couple extra fingers. The only other tip that I think makes sense is to spend a few bucks on water pump sealant. The gasket sent with this kit has a small seal attached... and even though I spent the time cleaning around the old seal I have no desire to end up with a leaking water pump as it is at the very back of this project... last thing out... first part back in. Oh... back to the the product review... I did not use the camshaft seals that were sent with the kit as I did not pull off the crankshaft pulleys... In theory I didn't change anything that should have a noticeable affect on the engine or its operation but I swear the vehicle runs smoother once I got everything put back together. I've done a lot of minor mechanic work starting with a VW van in 1968... but I have never done a timing belt. Overall with a couple hours help from a neighbor it took me about 6 hours. I would highly recommend this kit. Read full review...

Great kit at a great price with no surprises!!

I just installed this kit into my 1998 4runner and finished up today. It fired right up and sounds really good. All of the parts supplied in this kit were correct and work great. Everything fit just as it is supposed to. The premium quality of the parts in this kit give me the confidence that I do not have to worry about these parts for several years to come.

You might could find these items a little cheaper, buy not by much. Spend the few extra bucks and get high quality parts that you can depend on. You can have confidence that you are going to receive the right parts of superior quality.

Highly recommended!!Read full review...

Good stuff

All the parts are OEM and top quality, made in japan. Except for the drive belts, which are top quality american made OEM parts
Good buy. Dont be thrown off like i was by the mitsuboshi timing belt. Its OEM too don't worry
This is one of the most complete kits you will find. The only way to make it more complete would be to add new bolts for everything i guess. They even give you a stickerRead full review...

Complete Kit is an Understatement

This kit has everything I needed to replace my timing belt, water pump and everything else inside the timing cover. Everything fit great and as far as I can tell was OEM quality or better. I had a light valve tap before the new belt. Now the valves sound great and the engine runs strong. Looking forward to the next change.Read full review...

High quality and low price

The kit is the best of both worlds. You get a kit that contains everything you need to do a complete and professional job with oem quality parts. The price is exceptional. Each individually sourced part from the dealership would more than double the price of this kit.
If you are able to do the work yourself, get this kit. You'll be glad you did.Read full review...

Good price, all parts fit my 95 manual 3.4l 5vzfe Tacoma

These are all oem parts, except smaller belts they don’t seem as sturdy as denso brand, but they’re easy to replace so just inspect them often

Just buy it

I can't reccomend this kit enough. It's all included and it all fits perfectly. Buy the kit pick up the seal puller, the harmonic dampener holder, and the cam shaft holder and you can knock this job out without any last second trips to the parts store.Read full review...
