The 1HZ Toyota 4.2L diesel and its variants have a kevlar reinforced timing belt. All toyota's with the 1HZ have a timing belt light, which at every 100,000km is illuminated via a trigger in the speedometer. This light is reset by removing the rubber grommet in the speedo face and gently depressing the button underneath. Failure to replace the timing belt, and its subsequent failure "theoretically" should cause little to no damage as there is a considerable valve clearance making damager near impossible, however not recommended to let this occur.

The timing belt is behind the black cover on the front of the engine, under the Power Steering fluid reservoir. The cover is removed by undoing the 1 bolt that retains both the cover and power steering fluid reservoir and removing several metal clips. The belt is then acheived by slightly backing off the two bolts on the timing belt idler / tensioner and with appropriate tool removing tension and sliding belt off. Holding tensioner in same position, slide new blet over sprockets. Confirm correct fittmnent by aligning timing mark (TDC) on lower sprocket (driven by injector pump) and timing mark and camshaft sprocket (TDC). Replace cover, job donel.
