Where to buy water pump and timing belt kits?

Where's the best place and most reasonable priced sites to find these kits?

 

The AISIN kits are a couple hundred bucks +\- just Google it pick one and rock on

 

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.

As you can imagine with a job like this, there are quite a few parts and tools you need to complete it quickly and safely! As it turns out, there are a couple of great resources that make this easier:

You can buy most of the parts you need in a kit on eBay. There are several of them, but I went for the 100% OEM parts kit from aircabinman that contained the following parts:

Quantity Part Manufacturer Part Number
2 1 Timing Belt & 1 label Toyota 13568-69095/YZZ03
1 Idler Roller NSK OE 13503-62040
1 Tensioner Roller Koyo OE 13505-62070
1 Front Crankshaft Seal Toyota/NOK OE 90311-40022
2 Front Camshaft Seals Toyota/NOK OE 90311-38051
1 Water Pump Aisin OE 16100-69398-83
1 Water Pump Gasket Aisin 16271-62011
1 Hydraulic Tensioner Toyota 13540-62021
1 Thermostat (82°c) Toyota 90916-03075
1 Thermostat Gasket Aisin 16325-62010
1 Air Conditioning Belt Toyota 99364-20870
1 Alternator Belt Toyota 90080-91090
1 Power Steering Belt Toyota 90080-91126

There are a few parts/supplies that you still need to pick up to complete the job and aren't included in the kit, so I picked them up as well:

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). Note: I've reused this bolt before too, with no problem.
2. Two gallons of red coolant concentrate, to refill the radiator when it's reinstalled. (00272-1LLAC)
3. Two gallons of distilled water - again, for the radiator.

Amazon or rock auto. Buy Aisin.

 

Rock auto trump Amazon. Ebay and Amazon sells a ton of knockoff.

Or buy from Napa, they sell the Aisin kit.

 

Prove it pal.

Plenty

 

While in general I agree with you, aircabinman has a reputation for selling quality Toyota (or OEM manufacturer) parts to hundreds (thousands?) of TWers, so that's a safe seller when it comes to buying on eBay.

 

Can also get a complete kit from ToyOnly Swaps

Thanks everyone

 

Is there an equivalent kit or guide for 2016 tacoma 3.5L ?

 

It has been pre Covid but Ihave bought a few kits from Aircabinman on ebay.

No problems

 

I’ve used timingbeltkit.com in the past, claim to be all OEM or equivalent Japanese manufacturers, I guess I’m unsure of the part’s authenticity at this point but never had issues and they’ve been around for years. A more complete kit, comes with crank/cam seals, thermostat and drive belts, but not cheap at over $300
