    Where are you guys getting your timing belt stuff? I've heard good stuff from the aircabman kits on ebay. Just slightly worried about counterfeit stuff from ebay or Amazon.

    It seems like a comprehensive kit that he offers. I think I would just add a new crank nut.

    Same here, used aircabinman for a timing belt kit. Had no problems at all.

    OP,
    Add another big thumbs-up here for aircabinman. I opted for his kit with an OEM Toyota (Mitsuboshi) timing belt and upgraded crank bolt when doing the work this past summer. All the individual high-quality parts in aircabinman's kit were found to be exactly as advertised and a bargain at that price. .02

    Another vote for aircabinman's kit.

    There are a few parts/supplies that you still need to pick up to complete the job and aren't included in the kit:
    1. The crank pulley bolt, which Toyota says is a single-use bolt given the 217 ft-lbs of torque it's under while in service. (90119-16006)
    2. Two gallons of red coolant concentrate, to refill the radiator when it's reinstalled. (00272-1LLAC)
    3. Six gallons of distilled water - again, for the radiator.
    Here's the write-up I did on the job, and links to all the tools I bought (and where I bought them). Was a great investment from my POV since I've used them a few times, and it's nice to have them around when buddies need them. I've included links below as well for your convenience.
