Toyota Repair: Toyota 4 Runner Timing Belt, fe engine, anti freez


Question
My 4 Runner SR5 has about 65000 miles, 2001 model, 3RZ-FE engine, v6, 2.7 liter.  Did not see any reference in my books for timin belt. Never had any problems.

Do I have to change timing belt?
How do I flush out the raditor on this model?

I learned a lesson on my 88 Tacoma truck not to use the green anti-freez. It Clogged the radiator and had to change it.

Thanks. Morteza.

Answer
Hello Morteza and welcome to my expert page.
I'm getting conflicting information, the 3RZ-FE engine is a 4 cylinder, not a V-6, and it has no timing belt it has a timing chain and you do not have to worry about replacing it as it will probably outlive the rest of the engine.
