• Q: How to install the timing belt on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: You should start timing belt installation on a 2UZ-FE engine by placing the No. 2 timing belt idler sub-assembly using a bolt at 35 Nm (352 kgf-cm, 25 ft-lbf) torque. The installation of the No. 1 timing belt idler sub-assembly requires Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1324, Three Bond 1324, or equivalent applied to 2 or 3 threads of the bolt before using a 10 mm hexagon wrench to tighten the plate washer and idler with their bolt torqued to 35 Nm (352 kgf-cm, 25 ft-lbf). The installer should align the timing marks by rotating the camshaft hexagonal portion while using the pulley set bolt to position the crankshaft at TDC/compression stroke. Place the timing belt after cleaning pulleys while making sure oil or water are absent and setting the leading mark toward the front and using the correct timing position marks. Install the dust boot while putting the push rod through the belt tensioner so that it reaches 981 to 9807 N (100 to 1000 kgf, 220.5 to 2204.7 lbf) using a 1.5 mm hexagon wrench before letting go of the press. You should secure the belt tensioner by screwing in two bolts but remove the hexagon wrench afterward to tighten them to 26 Nm (265 kgf-cm, 19 ft-lbf). The technician should verify that cylinder No. 1 is at TDC/compression by cranking the crankshaft pulley twice counterclockwise and checking that all pulleys line up their timing marks before continuing if alignment is off. Add the No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate in the right orientation before placing the timing gear cover spacer and its gasket. The No. 1 timing belt cover needs 4 bolts installed with torque at 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Use Special Service Tool 09213-70011 with its pulley set key to guide the crankshaft damper groove installation before torquing the pulley bolt to 245 Nm (2498 kgf-cm, 181 ft-lbf). Secure the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly with a bolt accompanied by 2 nuts that require initial torques of 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft-lbf). The installation continues by securing the fan bracket through 2 bolts and 2 nuts where nut A and bolt B require 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft-lbf) torque and nut C and bolt D require 32 Nm (326 kgf-cm, 24 ft-lbf) torque. Fasten the No. 2 timing belt cover sub-assembly through its claws and pins into position before torquing the 2 mounting bolts to 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft-lbf). The camera position sensor wire must pass through the cover hole before installation of 4 bolts which will be torqued to 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Complete the sensor wire and engine wire connections to the clamps. The No. 2 timing chain or belt cover needs installation with three bolts and one nut that should achieve a torque specification of 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). The No. 2 idler pulley sub-assembly should be installed using a bolt with 39 Nm (398 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf) torque. Secure the combination of the 3 water by-pass hoses and oil cooler pipe with its respective cap nut and bolt at 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Secure the cooler compressor assembly through a nut and 3 bolts that require 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf) torque for the bolt while the nut should be tightened to 25 Nm (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). Finally, connect the connector. The generator assembly and vane pump assembly need two bolts tightened to 28 Nm (286 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf) while connector cables should be attached. Install the fan shroud together with outlet radiator hose to the inlet radiator hose and air cleaner assembly with attached air cleaner hose and throttle body cover sub-assembly while adding engine coolant to complete the operation. The negative battery terminal cable receives its connection and torque application at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) while inspecting for coolant leaks and verifying ignition timing and engine idle speed before No. 1 engine under cover installation.
