3VZE Timing Belt = Success

[HotSEXJ]

Have a 1993 Toyota 3VZE (3.0L EFI V6) and I think the waterpump is shot.

Anybody replace one of these? looks like it's right in the middle of downtown Hell...

My engine doesn't have a serp belt, it's two V-belts :eek:

Thought it ws cool that Toyota stamped the engine code into the timing cover

Huge T100 engine bay makes 3VZE look tiny - If you've ever seen a Toyota pickup's engine bay, you know the 3VZE FILLS it UP

OK - Roadblock!

I can't get the new timing belt on the truck - not long enough :laughing:

Any tips on how to get the timing belt on there?

We've been starting with it lined up on the passenger side cam and then going to driver's side cam then to the water pump, crank, and tensioner.

Help me out!
