Fun, some of the V6's you need to pull the cam sprocket to clear off a steel plate that blocks part of the water pump. I can't recall if the 3MZ does or does not have that.

That's correct - I'm going to replace the cam seals too while I'm in there. I want to make it good for another 90K miles.

Buy one of these, they're excellent at holding the cam shaft when you zap the sprocket bolt out and hold them nicely when torquing it back down to spec.

The smaller sizes are amazing for flare fittings, they fit any size even the between sizes and are much less likely to slip and round than standard vice grips. I have a large pipe I can slip over the handle of the 10LW for when I need to put the beans to something like a tierod nut.
