Okay, quick question. Timing belt job on a 2003 4.7l and during the process of changing cam and crank seals, both moved a bit. I have the cams lined up to the "T" marks, and the crank balancer pointed towards the small dimple on the front of the block. Having done some research, I used the T Mark originally and noticed the crank was effectively pointed the way I have it now.

I know I can move them around a bit to get them aligned again, just want to be sure before I pull the pin on the tensioner. Figured someone with some insight could tell me if my marks are correct since I had to do a bit of realignment.

Doing a timing belt job on this 2003 Tundra SR5 with the 4.7l. My buddy got a new Tacoma, and I ended up inheriting his Tundra since it needed a decent amount of work.

It was his dad's from about 03-07, and was given to him in high school. It got the occasional battery, air filter and oil change, a radiator a few years ago, general repairs like that. But basically no factory scheduled maintenance since new.

Doing the timing belt for what I can almost guarantee is the first time as well as the water pump and everything else including ball joints and I pulled the plugs to go ahead and replace. I've read that iridium plugs were OE but also saw these mentioned somewhere, so I am genuinely wondering if these are the original plugs from 2003.

Even if they aren't original though, I am blown away that this ran as well as it did. Pretty wild.

Hey guys. Doing a timing belt job and I'm stuck trying to remove the compressor to make room.

The last bolt I should have to remove is blocked by the ac hard line here. I obviously really don't want to have to crack the line off to remove it, so is there something I'm missing? I should also say that hard line isn't shaped like that in any of the 2UZFE videos I've seen. Just want to make sure before I break the line loose and add a refrigerant charge to this job. Sucks because the AC is actually pretty great as well haha.
