2001 Toyota Tundra V6 Timing Chain

The following list will provide you the information on whether your car engine is an interference engine or a non-interference engine.

2001 toyota tundra v6 timing chain. I can officially say i have the second worst toyota engine ever built next to the 30. ShopDealer Price 241860. 2005 40 v6- timing belt or chain.

He is telling me that his V8 has a timing chain because the first two years of Tundras used an engine from Lexus and then switched to a Toyota V8 beginning in 02. Theres also a RAV4 EV model but it doesnt use a timing chain or a timing belt because like the Toyota Mirai it is an electric vehicle. In many cases the belts had over 125000 miles and looked good.

Although timing belts are critical theres no need to replace them regularly unless explicitly recommended in your Toyota owners manual. Timing chains however are a different story and will. RAV4s manufactured from 1996 to 2000 with a 4-cylinder engine should plan on changing the timing belt every 90k miles while owners of RAV4s from 2001 on with a 4-cylinder have chains.

It pays to know what your engine has. After 1998 all Toyota Corolla models regardless of engine type switched to using timing chains. For the first generation Tundra cars with the 1GR-FE engine.

Engine has to come out. Service type Timing Cover Replacement. Belts need to be replaced at normal intervals usually every 90-100k on late model cars or you will have hell to pay.

I have a 2002 that I bought new and was an avid TS reader for many years afterwards. Starting in the 2008 model year these. In my opinion what gives out in many cases is the timing belt tensioner.
