what exactly is imporant and a must to replace?

For sure...
- Belt
- Pump

Are these a must?
- Pully 1?
- Pully 2?
- Tensioner?

Belt, pump, cam & crank oil seals must replace. Next I would also replace tensioner, pretty much min. If you plan on keeping the car for a long time, replace the pulleys too.
Too much work to replace just a few parts.

Care to elaborate on the tensioners and pulleys? "pretty much min". Also, how much more would the cost (parts) be for tensioner and pulleys? Thanks!

im at 125k... am i pushing it without these replacements?

should i really be starin down the barrel of $300+ just in parts?

Your certainly pushing the timing belt! There are kits that include the water pump, belt, and both idler pulleys. $50 gets you a tensioner also.

Quote from a friend at toyo

Belt $34
Pump $73
Tensioner $33
Pully $59
Pully $52
(still havent checked for the cam/crank seals)

mmatheny... can a kit beat that? link? rockauto?

Are those Toyota prices? If so, $33 for tensioner is a great deal.

mrchacon

matt - have u purchased a kit from them? do u think its worth it? or do "you get what you pay for"? or is there really a big difference between that and toyo/lex parts?

mmatheny

Nope - I'm at 96k now and need to change mine. Are those Toyota prices you quoted? If so, I might just go with that for another $150.

mrchacon

Belt 64
Pump 148
Tensioner 69
Pully 120
Pully 108

What kind of warranty? I don't know any Toyo employees.

mrchacon

Im sure it will still have full toyo warranty...

you might as well replace everything at one time coz its a pain in the butt. i got all my stuff at Meyers for $350 came with belt pump both pulleys and tensioner.

mrchacon

pinoystyle

i would stay away from the ebay stuff and just go to your local parts store
