Installation Instructions from the Toyota Factory Service Manual
Suits: Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80, HDJ81 & other models with the engines listed above with the earlier 94 tooth belt with the 1HDT engine
This kit also fits the 1HZ, and 1PZ engine using the 94T belt, but contains a turbo water hose for the 1HDT. There will be 1HZ, 1PZ specific kits released soon.
Kit contents:
A Cautionary Note:
All diesel engines are interference engines - this means that if the timing belt or the timing tensioner pulley bearing fails, then the pistons will contact the valves potentially causing severe (read: very expensive) engine damage.
Proper repair procedures require that all of the timing components and the water pump are replaced at the Toyota recommended replacement interval of 100,000kms or 5 years, whichever comes first, or what is listed in your Factory Service Manual if it differs from this recommendation.
It is further recommended that other parts are inspected and replaced as necessary, including belts, radiator and heater hoses, thermostat and gasket, along with engine coolant at the proper concentration.
Pro Tips:
When replacing your timing belt we always recommend that you also replace your tensioner pulley and spring - these parts are included in the kit.
The cam seal and injection pump gear seal are also worth doing, and come in the kit.
When replacing the timing components, it is also worth replacing the water pump at the same time. The water pump lifespan is only somewhat longer than the timing components, and the timing components need to be removed to replace the water pump, making this a worthwhile combination job.
Other parts you may want to consider:
- Thermostat with gasket 90916-03089
- Radiator Hoses for HDJ80 / HDJ81 / HZJ80 Upper Hose HDJ81 Lower Hose HDJ81
You will need two 4L jugs of concentrated coolant and distilled or reverse osmosis water to dilute your coolant.
A new rad cap is good idea too - 16401-71010
All Components from Japan except the valve cover gasket which is high quality aftermarket part from Taiwan. If you want Genuine Toyota valve cover gasket, let me know and it can be substituted for the difference in the price of the part (about C$10).
Note: Due to availability challenges the tensioner bearing may be from one of several different manufacturers, and may be different than the product photograph.
