I'm about to get my '07 SC430 out of winter storage and just today received the timing belt/water pump kit I ordered from Amazon. They've lowered the price to $85.79 plus tax and shipping is free (if you're a Prime member). Now I'll be looking for a reliable mechanic to install it.

 

Did you get the kit with the tensioners? Not worth skimping on these. Yelp is a great resource to find local independent shops with good ratings.

I hope yours comes with the water pump, tensioner and all other stuffs.

 

Not sure it there is another (more complete) kit available but here is what I got:

Looks very nice! I don’t see a tensioner.
does this kit have a name and/or model number?

many of us selected the Aisin TKT021 kit.

Here is the description provided by Amazon:

Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump, ECCPP TBK298WPT for 1998-2007 Lexus Toyota Tundra 4Runner Sequoia 4.7L 2UZFE

 

this kit does not include a tensioner...you MUST change the tensioner...below is the link to your kit.

here is the OEM kit TKT-021, do you see the tensioner?

 

Why would they even sell a kit without the tensioner? That's just craziness.

 

Lower price, attracting buyers. This kit is not Aisin. Read one comment, water pump seal blew almost cost him an engine.

 

This is the one I bought in January 2020.

 

Should it matter that the kit is also for a 4.7 liter and our SC's are 4.3?

 

good catch!
i think these kits are for both engines...it says it fits the SC430.

 

Thanks to all who responded. The info was very much appreciated. Today I returned the kit I originally bought and ordered a different one- this one has a tensioner.

 

My 2008 SC with 55K has its original TB. According to the 10-year interval, I'm two years past due, but from past experience changing out Toyota TB's, I'm in no hurry. I'll tackle the job sometime in the future, but will likely source the parts from a Toyota or Lexus, on-line, discount parts dealer. Has anyone done this and, if so, can you share which dealer you used and what the parts cost? Does Toyota or Lexus sell a kit?

 

I don't mean to be belligerent, but most of that information is right here in this thread. Did you read it?
