Recommended Posts

Just popped out, pulled up outside my house, car making a squeeking noise, thought i`d pop the bonnet and quickly check. My Crankshaft pulley has moved forward and wedge its self into my fan !!! belt still on where pulley should be :cry: Anybody tell me what might of happened , and how serious this could be ???

Don't worry you shouldn't have done any internal damage to the engine, as the 2JZ is non-interference (ie. pistons won't have hit the valves if your cam belt has slipped.) The crank pulleys are prone to failing with age and if they have been abused when removing them before. You'll need a new pulley from Toyota and possibly some other parts if it's damaged the coupling on the fan. I've not done the job myself so not sure of the costs, but one of the guys will be along in a minute to let you know how big a job it is to replace.

The cam belt won't have slipped because the centre of the pulley will still be in place so the belt won't have come off. Probably 2 hours labour plus parts.

To be fair, it took me longer than that the first time because I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't have the right pullers. It's a lot easier on a Supra with a manual transmission.

Thanks guys,

Hopefully getting it moved and fixed soon. Only problem is getting it there ?? My rescue cover doesnt cover me from home :( if I want it recovered the car has to be a mile away from home . The stupid thing is I was out this morning, wish i`d pulled the bonnet and had a look then before I drove home.

I know its hopefully isnt that major a job, but I really feel gutted !!!

 

Thanks again ,
