ECCPP® Performance Timing Belt Water Pump Kit for 🚗 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma Tundra 4Runner T100 3.4L V6 DOHC 245VZFE Engine Review

After the water pump broke I used this kit to replace it and all the belts 3 months later and it still works great, no leaks, squeaks or problems. I have noticed that the thermostat included in the kit keeps my engine temp around 175-180F as opposed to Toyota's OEM thermostat which keeps my engine temp around 195-200F. I find that a positive appeal for this kit. would definitely buy again.

The only downside I have for this kit and the reason I didn't get 5 stars is that the water pump seal doesn't have a metal frame like more expensive timing belt kits. I used a pad mold on both sides of the padding and it works great. Also, the longest belt goes to the power steering pump and NOT the alternator, so I had to loosen and reinstall the belts.

Tensioner bracket does not fit properly on engine. The part of the bracket that contains the 10mm hex bolt has a lip that is too long which makes direct contact with the motor/oil pump and prevents the tensioner from rotating freely. The new pulley could not be replaced with the old bracket because the diameter of the screw holes is different. Took me back in time a lot. Now you need to buy the right pulley and bracket. Update: I was ok with the seller and they went out of their way to fix the…

I installed this on my 1996 4runner and it came with everything I needed to get it working. But it took a long time to align the timing belt. The belt must have a certain number of teeth between each cam pulley and the main pulley. Without these marks, I had to pull the belt back because after turning the crankshaft pulley, the timing lines on the pulleys were misaligned. I took out my old belt and marked the new one by counting the teeth between each mark. Everything is fine now, but alignment

All parts included. The installation is fine, but when I started the engine it started, but the engine died when accelerating. Remove the timing cover and check the timing marks, everything was correct but I knew something was wrong because the engine felt the engine timing was lagging. So I counted the teeth on both timing belts, and it turned out that the number was different. Now I have to go back to work. Lost $$ at work due to this kit. I will not buy this set again. Also, I need to buy…

I loved this set as it's cheap and I've used other ECCPP products before that were of good enough quality for what I needed. Unfortunately, the belt tensioner pulley assembly will NOT fit. It's about 1/16 to 1/8 inch wider. Therefore, the belt will NOT move properly on the pulley. Also, the included strap is small, but only at the edge. This is noticeable when trying to put on a belt. Even when the belt tensioner is tight, an enormous amount of force is required. So much power that it wears…
