Timing chain kit advice

Post up what timing chain kit you have had experience with. 2.7 3rz. Rebuilding this week!

 

No personal experience, but Yotashop seems to have a good following here and puts together good kits with OEM parts. A couple of options here (scroll down): https://www.yotashop.com/1998-toyota-tacoma-3rz-timing/

Much cheaper options available from RockAuto, but if you need the balance shaft parts, I don't think those come in the RockAuto kits. They can be purchased separately, though.

 

yeah I’ve seen yotashop, LCE, mizumo auto and a couple others but it’s just the price difference is crazy. I just want to be sure I’m buying quality parts.

 

I’ve got a Coyles one from when I had to replace my timing cover gaskets. Thought I was going to do the chain but it was still in great shape guides too. It’s a full kit if you want it!

 

Pm me please!

 

And so it begins!

 

Good luck! One thing I regret not replacing was the harmonic balancer when I did my timing cover.

 

Give em hell tiger

 

I didn’t get a new one. Maybe I should. I’m doing the balance shaft delete too.

 

Whole lot easier now to do it than later. After all this time the rubber in the harmonic balancer gets old
