Default Timing Belt DIY

Here is a helpful link to the Toyota/Lexus V8 2UZ-FE DIY timing belt & water pump replacement. +

This of course is a different vehicle but same motor. I bought the TKT-001 kit from Toyolex on Amazon:

Amazon.com: OEM Aisin TKT-001 Complete Water Pump Kit-Timing Belt: Automotive Amazon.com: OEM Aisin TKT-001 Complete Water Pump Kit-Timing Belt: Automotive


All parts are actual OEM parts that Lexus/Toyota uses.

I bought the Toyota red concentrated coolant from Carquest for $27 per gallon (2 gallons) and mixed 50/50 with 2+ gallons distilled water. Much cheaper than buying the Toyota 50/50 blend of coolant where I would need 4 gallons.
I also replaced my upper and lower radiator hoses, spark plugs, pcv valve, cabin air filter and oil filter from Rockauto.com. Good prices and fair shipping.

I sourced anything else I needed locally.
