Replacing crankshaft position sensor and tensioner on longitidunal 3GR-FSE
On the Toyota 2GR-FE engine which are transverse mounted and the crankshaft pulley facing the front right tire, accessing the serpentine belt tensioner requires removal of the radiator and alternator. The crankshaft position sensor is to the right of the serpentine belt tensioner, after the AC compressor is tilted forward. I also had to loosen the lower left engine mount to raise the car high enough the loosen the lower alternator bolt.
On the 3.0 liter longitidunal 3GR-FSE, used on the GS300 3rd gen, the crankshaft pulley is right behind radiator, and the alternator is in front of the driverside tire. Is the crankshaft position sensor easy to get to once the alternator is removed and ac compressed loosened/tilted forward? Are there anything like fuse box (as seen on 4th generations) I'll have to remove to get better access to the alternator bolts?
Unfortunately there are little to no Youtube tutorials on this longitudinal engine bay.
