Ok ive decided to just replace the timing chain & cogs - with the help of a few mates, but i said i would provide all the necessary tools & kit, now having said that what tools will i need & where can i buy a replacement timing chain & cogs kit?

Thanks to anyone who has done this before & can help - its for a 2.6L(efi)TR '93.

cheers, macha. :cool:

theres a kit on ebay for $179 from Ringwood. i got mine from them, works a treat, job was a pain tho lol. found out previous owner didnt understand the meaning of replacing a gasket with proper gaskets, rather glue and paper :nuts:

good luck with it mate! any questions give buffy a yell, he works wonders with chains lol

you can drop the motor down as it is easier out than in the engine bay

1/2 metric sockets/ T bar / extension 3/8 sockets etc 12 ,13, 14, 17, 22 mm spanners

gasket sealant / wet and dry paper to clean the gasket surfaces /rags/degreaser

you need a strong thin pin punch to pop out the scroll pin holding the
tensioner on the oil pump

with the sump off
you can hold the crank from turning this helps undo the timing pully nut undone

the other thing is the long tool to reset the tension the oil pump rachet see link

you will need a sump gasket genuine misi part

and oil and coolant

and a tension wrench

this is the ringwood kit

you need to buy the kit with the cogs on the tr they wear along with the timing chains and guides

the locktight is already on the special bolt A

you may have to drill a hole out to siut a modification on that guide where the bolt goes
