Anyone else notice that the timing belt on the 3S runs right on the edge of the cam gears? (away from engine).
I'm wondering what the hell this is all about and if there is a way to fix it.. -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

Playing with a friends MR2 the other day just doing general maintenance and I noticed his Timing belt is also running at the dead end of the cam gears. Not sure why but it was actually rubbing a hole on a vacuum line that runs past it. Replaced the vacuum line and secured it away fom the belt and now everything runs good. Is this something we should be worried about?

Is this something we should be worried about? Look at his belt again.. and tell me if the writing on the belt is facing the engine or other way... I think the belt may be directional... Also his is belt a toyota or if not what brand? -------------------- 87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer.

Also his is belt a toyota or if not what brand? Don't know. The previous owner [also a close friend] had just got it a fresh rebuild at a non-toyota shop so I assume a new timing belt was installed. Probably not factory knowing how rebuilds work. What Identifying marks would tell me? -------------------- ![]() |
