cleanse Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) 93 2JZGTE 32k kilometers Well my cam seals seem to be leaking pretty bad, at least it seems like its coming from that area and slowly going down the engine. I assume from the motor not running and not staying lubed by normal operation. The car was owned by a local that never drove it. So I'm pretty mechanically inclined but i do not have the means to fix this myself unfortunately. With me being here in Japan the only place i can trust is the Toyota dealership so it will be a bit pricey (which I'm fine with) question..... would it prob be a good idea to have the timing belt and tensioner replaced at the same time even though i only have 32k? also keeping in mind the belt is possibly oil soaked.. but then again the belt is 24 years old...

ibby Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yes do it. Replace it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navtrd Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The belt should still be changed I think its every 5 years or 62,000 miles as it starts to deteriorate so best to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Look at replacing the crank pulley as well Edited January 24, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 As Dunk says, I'd look at it all, not just because the fact its low mileage but mainly because of the age. Wouldn't be surprised that the crank pulley is in good condition, but it may well be seized with age. Belts should deffo be replaced, timing and aux. Better safe than sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ok hold on a minute, you say the belt might possibly be soaked, but then also that the cam seals are leaking? If you can see the cam seals leaking you can see/inspect the belt no? Do you mean the cam cover seals? Have you taken off the green central plastic cover held on with 10 Allen head bolts?
