installed wrong part no. timing belt (pics)
I bought a 94 4runner for $1000 that would not run. Turns out the timing was off several teeth. The cams were both in time with each other but off about 4 teeth from where they should have been. I dont know if it jumped or was installed incorrectly. Anyway, I bought a new hydraulic tensioner for it. The Toyota brand belt and Aisin water pump looked almost brand new, so I was just going to get it all in time and reinstall the belt and call it good. The belt WILL NOT fit back on without major prying and stretching. I looked up the part number, and it shows the belt to be for a 92 model. Can someone verify that the belt are actually different in length? What other parts should I be worried about? Idlers? Water pump? Don't know how they ever get it on in the first place without prying it.

Could you post the part number? That would probably help a lot...
I doubt there's a difference in timing belts between 92 and 94, though. From what I recall, there is only one timing belt for the 3VZE regardless of the year.

Lay the fan bracket flat face down & pout a little motor oil into the bearing crack. It will soak in over a few hours, GREATLY increasing the life of it. You don't want to have to pay what the dealer wants for one~ 8-O
