Water pump / timing belt change 93 camry 4 cyl

[jessejessejesse]

the radiator cracked from overheating three days ago. since ive changed the radiator, the thermostat twice, lower rad hose, two flushes (2nd to get the mixture straight), checked for exhaust clogs, changed cap, burped it for long periods of time on steep incline, got coolant tested for exhaust in system to rule out head gasket, bypassed the fan relay switch to keep them on (yes i let it warm up before driving) and smoked about a carton of cigarettes. the car runs fine...then redlines. against the will of my strong denial mechanism im ready to admit that its a broken or corroded water pump. im hoping you guys can help. was wondering one if anyone could post the timing adjts. from service manual and two a breakdown (no pun intended) of the tools id need and the process and location of the service. this will be my first timing belt and water pump switch. ugh. any help would be outrageously needed and appreciated

I suggest you go to the Camry forum over at AutomotiveForums.com and download the generation 3 Toyota factory service manual stickied at the top of that forum. It should have the procedure under the cooling system section.

Good luck.
