Timing belt OEM Toyota or DAYCO

A mouse got itself in behind the timing cover on my dad's Tundra. The mouse got et, the engine jumped time. Somehow the valves were OK. New belt and a bit of gore removal and it was back to normal.

Get Dayco. They are made in Italy anyway and from the dayco "HT" material.

I have them in my 2v no issues

I got my kit from MetalMan Parts. Dayco timing belt, Continental serpentine belt, Litens tensioner, INA rollers, Graf metal pump and all the recommended hardware \ud83d\udc4d

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.

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

This was the most frustrating repair I've ever done. I've done plenty of timing belt/chain jobs before but this one sucked.

You can't tell if the timing marks are lined up, the belt doesn't have marks on it and no where on line tells you how many belt teeth there should be from one mark to the others to check your work. I buttoned it up and was off a tooth on the driver's side, I could have set the truck on fire. It worked fine after I did the job a second time.

Wet belts dont like new fuel, and dont like low mileages... Found the below information which backs up what ive been saying for a long while, the ecoboost engines are fine...if they cover high mileages and oil is changed regularly.... Dayco, a leading belt manufacturer, has investigated the impact of ethanol and petrol contamination on its timing belts. Their research has indicated that the presence of fuel in the oil, especially due to short, low-speed drives, can overwhelm the oil’s additives and cause belt degradation. This means that the belts may fail before their expected lifespan, even if the belt itself is of high quality. The Importance of Proper Maintenance and Usage: To mitigate the risk of premature belt failure due to ethanol and petrol contamination, it’s crucial to maintain a vehicle properly. This includes avoiding short, low-speed journeys that can lead to fuel contamination of the oil. Regularly changing the oil and ensuring the oil filter is in good condition can help prevent fuel from entering the engine oil. If a vehicle is stored for extended periods, it’s advisable to use fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol from separating and potentially damaging the fuel system, including the belt.

I think this is what has happened to a 91 Soarer I rescued from a field. Sounded WEIRD trying to start. Went to check plug leads and thats where I saw the chewed up and snapped timing belt.
