Hey I have searched the net and can't find shit but does anyone know when the 1uz timing belt has to be replaced, My mate has the 4.7L (2UZ) version in his landcrusier and it sez to change the belt at 150'000km's, Don't ask...

It hasn't made really expensive noises has it? :)

normally 100 thou kms you replace T/belt,so assuming your car has done or just pass 100 thou you replace them. on my 1999 V6 touring camry 120 thou kms is recommended you replace the T/belt,

saves you from severe engine damage due to T/belt failure.

No, I'm looking at buying one and they are all 90-100'000km's.

Normally yes but

so i wanna know if it is the same for the 1UZ.

I hate when you sepnd all night searching and then you post it up and you find something, Just found this:

 

Soarer V8 Timing Belt Change

 

Which sez that Toyota recommends it at 160'000km's, I think it will be getting changed long before that.

And...

 

Rebuild the starter, new belt and water pump, and change the plugs before you stick it in anything.
