2LTE, 2LT-II, 3L Timing Belt & Water Pump Workshop Manual Pages

How to identify this series of engine: 08/1988 - 07/1997 The later L family of engines can be identified as they have the ‘bucket and shim’ system for adjusting the valves, and not rockers or roller rockers. The newer engines also have stamped steel valve covers, and the older engines had cast aluminum valve covers.

Additions & updates to this kit: This kit was developed by RADD Cruisers from our experience working on these engines in our workshop as well as information provided by our clients. Parts have been added to the kit in an attempt to eliminate component failures, even though these failures are fairly uncommon.

It is critical that all the hardware is torqued to the factory service specifications to prevent damage and possible failure.

1. The stepped guide pulley bolt, 90105-10235, is subject to fatigue and subsequently breaking off which can cause catastrophic failure of the timing belt and costly damage to the cylinder head. This bolt was added to the kit as we feel it should be replaced at the same time with the rest of the timing components.

2. Crankshaft pulley bolt, 90901-19028, has been added since there have been a number of occurrences of  reused bolts not holding proper torque. If the crank pulley bolt is not adequately torqued, or the crank pulley is not fully seated, the crank pulley will become loose thereby causing the front of the crankshaft to wear as well as the keyways which align the pulley to the crank to become destroyed. This can cause difficult to repair (expensive) damage to the crankshaft and pulleys.

3. The other two bolts that hold the tensioner pulley are also included (90105-08169, 90109-08171), as they are also subject to fatigue, especially when not torqued to the factory specification.

4. Many technicians like to remove the cam seal retainer when replacing the camshaft seal, as a result the proper factory gasket, 11384-54030, has also been included.

5. The timing tensioner pulley spring, 90506-18060, has been added as these spring are subject to fatigue and either losing tension or breaking off.

6. The water pump is now included in the kit. The water pump lifespan is only somewhat longer than the timing components, and the timing components need to be removed to access and replace the water pump. The accessory belt tension for the water pump is critical for a long lifespan. An overly tight belt is one of the most common causes of premature water pump failure (as is not running coolant, and a few other factors).

7. The valve cover gasket, along with the two seals that seal the plastic timing cover, that reduce dirt and dust entry into the timing belt area, are now included. These parts are important for doing a complete timing belt replacement.

The generally accepted replacement interval for the timing components is 5 years or 100,000 kms, whichever comes first.

Both of these intervals are about the belt material degrading with exposure to heat as well as emissions, and the bearings in the tensioner and guide pulleys wear out over time.

Other items to consider:
• Thermostat - a slightly lower temperature 82C thermostat (vs 88C) on the 2LTE has proven to be helpful in keeping the engine cooler: 16340-54040
• Radiator cap - the most common cap is listed here: 16401-71010
• Heater and radiator hoses - these are vehicle specific - if you can't find what you're after on this eCom site, then contact us with your VIN or Frame number.
• Alternator and accessory belts - the most common alternator/water pumps belts for the 2LTE are: 90916-02209/90916-02211
• Engine coolant - it is acceptable to use many different brands and types of coolant in these engines after the cooling system has been thoroughly flushed with clear low mineral content or distilled water. The default is to use Toyota Red concentrate (get this from your Toyota dealer) or one of the "universal coolants" and mix it 60:40 coolant:distilled water in cold climates, and 50:50 in warmer climates.

Alternate part numbers - Toyota can use many different part numbers for an identical part; this depends on the specific application or updates made to the parts:
water pump: 16100-59155 = 16100-59257
Timing Belt: 13568-59065 = 13568-59066 = 13568-54070 (all are a 129 tooth 31mm belt)
