Timing belt OEM Toyota or AISIN

Change the lower ball joints, timing belt and associated parts and it\u2019ll run for years. The 3.4 engines are tanks, really hard to kill and you\u2019ll easily find ones that are hitting 500k+

XV20 Camrys never die. My 97 is at 238k, recently just did spark plugs and wires, did valve cover gasket and water pump/timing belt at like 200k. Running strong and smooth. Regular maintenance on these cars is easy and cheaper than a car note.

I can honesty just say I’ve had an Aisin, Mitsuboshi, and a Gates, plus original OEM by this point in the cars life. They’ve all lasted the 9yr or 90k mark without fault.

What I like about our Hilux is after 200k kms, is timing belt lang napalitan. The durability is impeccable.

Just did my timing belt. Get the Aisin it’s only like $107 on rockauto.

aisin is the best! it’s got everything you need and it’s not extremely expensive. took my personal mechanic 4-5 days to fix it up, but he also had to work on other cars. aisin is always going to be dayco when it comes to timing because it’s the exact match from the stock one when the car was made

I’ve seen the genuine Toyota belts go well over 100k before they give up. They were 60k belts years ago that would usually cross 100 and occasionally double the recommended interval before they broke.

I have used Aisin kits every time on the several (near 10) timing belt replacements I have paid for over 25 years of owning Honda V6s, the Aisin parts work great, no issues.

The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.

The timing belt failed kindly early 65k later, so could have been bogus Aisin parts.
