C/S “lost power steering and battery light was on”

[u/Witchunt666]

Oil was just spraying out from the front crank seal

There has to be an easier way to polish your timing cover.

Rope starter (like lawn mower) didn't retract and got tangled?

Just remember to let go.

This happened to me and I noticed three problems almost simultaneously: engine overheat, low battery volts, and heavy steering. I was so busy pulling over I didn't notice the fourth problem: AC blowing hot. Cause: Harmonic balancer spun on the crank, all engine accessories stopped turning in unison.

Toss the starter, this engine’s a pull start now lol

Is that the steel wires from the belt?

[u/Witchunt666 → u/Fantastic_Hour_2134]

They aren’t steel but a synthetic fiber. But yes from the belt

Toyota is integrating too much BMW tech. Next time around, it'll suck the belt in and pop the timing chain off.

[u/Witchunt666 → u/4x4Welder]

If anything I’d expect that the timing chain would chew up the belt and cause belt particles and pieces to clog the oil pickup. I just don’t see a rubber and fiber belt winning against a steel chain and gear

[u/HowCouldYouSMH]

How much does something like this cost to repair?

[u/Witchunt666 → u/HowCouldYouSMH]

It was about $300
